Witchblades are born of a lineage of warriors whose great feats in battle shape the flow of magic around them, allowing their supernatural prowess to sometimes pass the their descendants. Some tribes and noble families track their ancestries in hope of identifying the heirs to this power a harnessing their gifts. However, many witchblades are born of unremarkable circumstances, removed from and ignorant of the heritage that empowers them. Some scholars suggest that when the fast and the weave of magic align just so, one of these warrior mages may come into being through their own force of will, bending the weave and perhaps starting a lineage of their own.

Arcane Warrior

You learn to utilize simple magical effects as you fight:

     Arcane Defense. You may cast Mage Armor  on yourself at will without using a spell slot. Starting at 2nd level, when you are about to take damage, you may use your reaction and spend sorcery points to protect yourself. You may prevent 5 damage for each sorcery point spent this way.

     Martial Magics. You gain proficiency with all simple and martial melee weapons. You may use a melee weapon as an arcane focus.

War Witch

When you take the Attack action, you may use the Quicken Spell Metamagic option without spending sorcery points until the end of your turn.

Magical Armament

You may invoke magical weapons and armor at will as a bonus action. The magical armaments are often of an arcane appearance such as a ship of arcane energy or a cuirass of swirling shadows. The equipment vanishes if it leaves your immediate possession, if you are incapacitated, or if you use this ability again.

     Magical Arms.  You may create any one melee weapon or any two melee weapons with the light  property. Created weapons are magical, but otherwise use standard weapon profiles. You may use your Charisma modifier instead of Strength or Dexterity for the attack and damage rolls. 

     Magical Armor. When casting Mage Armor using your Arcane Defense skill, you may use 13 + your Charisma for your base AC.

Witch Walking

You have the ability to blink around the battlefield. At either the beginning or the end of your turn, you may instantly teleport up to 15 feet to and unoccupied space that you can see. You may spend a sorcery point to blink at both the beginning and the end of your turn.

Magical Flurry

When you take the Attack action on your turn, you may spend up to 3 sorcery points. For each point spent this way, you may make an additional attack.
