Bladebond

By spending 1 hour of meditation with a chosen light or heavy blade, you forge a special bond with the weapon. As a standard action, you can call your bonded weapon to your hand from up to 10 squares away.

You can forge a bond with a different blade using the same meditation process (for instance, if you acquire a new blade that has magical abilities). If you forge a bond with a different blade, the old bond dissipates.

If your bonded weapon is broken or damaged, you can spend 1 hour of meditation to recreate the weapon from a fragment. (This process automatically destroys any other fragments of the weapon in existence, so you can't use it to create multiple copies of a broken weapon.)

Blade Wizard Warding

The Blade Wizard Warding class feature grants the Blade Wizard a +1 bonus to AC while conscious and wielding either a light blade or a heavy blade. This bonus increases to +3 if the Blade Wizard  is wielding the blade in one hand, and has the other hand free, that is, not carrying a shield, an off-hand weapon, a two-handed weapon, or anything else.

Blade Wizard Aegis

The Blade Wizard Aegis class feature grants one of three at-will powers, aegis of assault, aegis of ensnarement, or aegis of shielding. Each of these three powers marks a target, and allows the Blade Wizard to take an immediate action triggered when the target hits with an attack that did not include the Blade Wizard as a target. The choice between these powers also affects some other class powers.

• Aegis of assault allows the Blade Wizard to teleport to the target and make a melee basic attack against it. This option is associated with a striker secondary role.
  
  
• Aegis of ensnarement allows the Blade Wizard to teleport the target into an adjacent square and make it grant combat advantage. This option is associated with a controller secondary role.
  
  
• Aegis of shielding reduces the triggering attack's damage against one creature by an amount equal to the Blade Wizard's Constitution modifier plus 5 per tier. This option is associated with a leader secondary role.
