You fought righteously, then at a glance you felt your soul leaving your body. In an instant you felt as though new life was brought to you and you gained arcane powers. As an Arcane Tactician you have created the identity of a magical warrior. One, whose unique fighting style pairs magic with traditional fighting. Having an expertise in augmented melee combat you have proven quite the potent damage dealer.

Unorthodox Combat Style

You have developed a unique fighting style, one which pairs magic with traditional fighting techniques. Having taken notes from both master fighters and archmages, the Arcane Tactician's critical hits are more potent.

Starting at level 1, your critical hits have on-hit effects:

Melee: Your critical hits knock the opponent prone.

Spell: Your critical hits blind the opponent for the rest of the turn.

Arcane Techniques

Starting at level 6, your fighting style has led to the creation of brand new combat techniques, making way for magically augmented melee combat. You have developed the following techniques 

Unleash Energy

Spectral Bubble

Arcane Shockwave

Teleportation Trinket

All the Arcane Techniques are spells. You may use any spell slot to cast them however they only scale with player level.

Mage Combat Mastery

Staring at level 14, once per short rest you can infuse your weapon with one of the following elements (acid, fire, ice, lightning). An infused weapon deals extra damage of the type you chose to infuse your weapon (extra damage is equivalent to your CHA modifier + your proficiency bonus). This effect lasts for the first two minutes of your next encounter after infusing your weapon. You may remove your infusion at any time with a bonus action,however you lose all effects and can only reapply an infusion after a short rest. 

Energy Surplus

Starting at level 18, you have finally learned to control the energy flowing through you. Once per long rest you can channel that energy and rapidly execute your Arcane Techniques. For the first minute of an encounter following a long rest you may use your Arcane Techniques without expending any spell slots.
