With their unmatched blend of martial prowess and magical mastery, Arcane Blades stand as living embodiments of the union between magic and steel.

Arcane Attunement

At 3rd level, you learn to weave magic into your attacks. You gain proficiency in the Arcana skill if you don’t already have it. Additionally, you gain the ability to cast spells

Spellcasting

You learn a limited number of spells from the wizard spell list, which are considered fighter spells for you. Your Arcane Blade spellcasting is Charisma-based.

Cantrips: You learn two cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. You learn an additional cantrip at 10th level.

Spell Slots: The Arcane Blade Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your Arcane Blade spells, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

Spellcasting Ability: Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Arcane Blade spells, so you use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an Arcane Blade spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Arcane Strike

Starting at 3rd level, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one spell slot to deal extra force damage to the target, in addition to the weapon’s damage. The extra damage is 1d6 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus an additional 1d6 for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d6

Arcane Resilience

At 7th level, you gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws. Additionally, you gain resistance to force damage.

Arcane Deflection

Starting at 10th level, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on an attack roll against you when you are hit by an attack. If the attack still hits you, you have resistance against the damage dealt by the attack. You can use this feature once, and you regain the ability to do so after finishing a short or long rest.

Mastery Of Arcane Warfare

At 15th level, your mastery over magic and martial prowess reaches its peak. You can add half of your Charisma modifier, rounded down, to the damage roll of any spell you cast that deals force damage. Additionally, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one spell slot to impose the banishment spell effect on the target, requiring no concentration, and the target is banished to a harmless demiplane until the end of your next turn. The creature then returns to the space it previously occupied, or the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Arcane Burst

At 18th level, you can channel the arcane energy within you to unleash a devastating burst of force. As an action, you can expend two spell slots to create a sphere of crackling arcane energy with a 20-foot radius centered on yourself. Each creature within the sphere other than yourself must make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, a creature takes 6d10 force damage and is pushed up to 20 feet away from the center of the sphere. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and isn’t pushed. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
