Arcane Binding

At 3rd level, you learn a ritual that creates a magical bond between yourself and your weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. The weapon must be within your reach throughout the ritual, at the conclusion of which you touch the weapon and bind it to yourself.

Once you have bound a weapon to yourself, you can’t be disarmed of that weapon 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 bound weapons, and can summon both with your bonus action. If you attempt to bind yourself with a third weapon, you must break the bond with one of the other two.

Infused Bond

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain the following benefits:

Infusions. You learn three infusions of your choice. You learn one additional infusion of your choice at 7th, 10th, and 15th level. Each time you learn new infusions, you can replace one you know with a different one. You may use your infusions a number of times equal to 3 times your Charisma, Wisdom or Intelligence modifier (your choice).

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

Infusion save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charsma, Wisdom or Intelligence modifier (your choice).

Ground Thrust

You can replace one of your attack as you push your weapon into the ground with great force. As a blast wave of arcane energy surges from you, you may expend 3 infusion charges and any hostile creature within 10 feet of you makes a Dexterity saving throw, or they take 2d6 force damage.
