This ancient sect is believed to be a human interpretation of their Elven counter parts Bladesingers. Where as, the Elves focused on one blade this unique style incorporates this use of two finesse type weapons while still being able to spell cast if needed. The use of the second blade is believed to put Arcane Blade Masters on par with Elven Blade singers offsetting their nimbleness and forcing them to deal with the extra attack. It is rumored that this Ancient sect was actually created by a former Elf bladesinger whether this is true or just rumored fancy it's difficult to tell.

 

Combat Fluidity

When you choose this archetype at 2nd level, you learn twin blade maneuvers that are fueled by special dice called Combat Fluidity dice.

 

Twin Blade Maneuvers. You learn three defensive maneuvers Parry, Riposte and Evade. You can use only one maneuver per attack. Upon reaching 7th level you learn two additional offensive style maneuvers of your choice at 7th, 10th, and 15th level. Each time you learn new maneuvers, you can also replace one maneuver you know with a different one.

 

Combat Fluidity . You have three Combat Fluidity dice, which are d8s. A Combat Fluidity die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended Combat Fluidity dice when you finish a short or long rest. You gain another Combat Fluidity dice die at 7th level and one more at 15th & 18th level.

 

 Saving Throws. Some of your maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Maneuver save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice)

 

Eldritch Blades and Eldritch Armor

At 2nd level, you gain proficiency with light armor, however most Arcane Blade Masters opt to master Eldritch armor (mage armor spell) magical armor that can be called upon at will.

 You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour,  weaving eldritch ethereal blades into being.These blades are considered Light, Finesse, and have the thrown property. The caster can also bond these blades with regular material blades though each weapon must be within your reach throughout the ritual, at the conclusion of which you touch the weapons and forge the bond.

Once you have bonded a weapon(s) to yourself, you can’t be disarmed of that weapon(s) unless you are incapacitated. If it is on the same plane of existence, you can summon that weapon as a bonus action on your turn, causing it to teleport instantly to your hand.

You can have up to two bonded weapons, but can summon only one at a time with your bonus action. If you attempt to bond with a third weapon, you must break the bond with one of the other two.

It ends early if you are incapacitated, if you don medium or heavy armor or a shield or wield a two handed weapon. You can also dismiss the dance of blades form at any time you choose (no action required).
