The Magus

A human walks up behind their half-elf companion, placing a

hand on their back. The half-elf's eyes begin to glow with a
soft blue light, as they move to disarm the trap ahead of them.
The trap then goes off unexpectedly, sending a gout of flame
straight for them—but their friend's arcane protection
allowed them to survive unscathed.
Holding their sword up high, an elf begins to gather
magical energy from the air around them. An orb of fire
appears in their free hand, growing larger by the second.
Finally, they release it, sending the ball of flame streaking
towards their target, an orc just about to strike the princess
charged to their care.
A gnome holds a hand crossbow tight as they await the
signal from their partner. As their fellow assassin leaps out of
the shadows across from them, they discharge arcane energy
into their weapon of choice. Once their weapon starts to glow
with magical power, they leap out themselves and shoot their
prey.
Magi are masters of both spell and sword, arms and the
arcane. Much like wizards, they study the arcane, but rather
than the arduous magical analysis and scholarly bookkeeping
that wizards are prone to, they commit arcane sequences and
spells to memory—and focus mainly on magic that can be
used in battle. A trained magus is a shockingly deadly force,
with powerful destructive and protective magics and the
ability to swing a sword and use a shield if all else fails. They
have perfected the combination of spells and weaponry, and
have formed many orders and disciplines for the focused
study of their craft.
Wizardly Warriors
Inspired by traditions such as bladesinging and the fighters
known as eldritch knights, a sect of wizards and warriors
sought to create a perfect blend of spellcasting and battle
techniques. The result are the magi.
A magus' training involves mastering the use of armor and
weapons while simultaenously studying magic and
committing spell sequences to memory. They do not carry a Proficiencies Gained. If magus isn't your initial class, here

Equipment You have a number of uses of this feature equal to your

You start with the following equipment, in addition to the
equipment granted by your background:
(a) scale mail or (b) leather armor
(a) a martial melee weapon or (b) two simple melee
weapons
(a) a light crossbow and 20 bolts or (b) any simple weapon
(a) a scholar's pack or (b) an explorer's pack
(a) An arcane focus or (b) a component pouch
Touch of the Magi
At 1st level, you learn how to harness magical energy to
protect your allies. As a bonus action on your turn, you can
touch a willing creature and expend a use of this feature.
When you do so, the target is marked by your Touch of the
Magi for the next minute. While marked, that creature can
end this feature on themselves (no action required) when
they make a saving throw against a spell or magical effect to
roll a d4 and add the result to the roll. This die changes as
you gain magus levels, as shown in the Arcane Power column
of the Magus table.
proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when
you finish a short or long rest.
Arcane Armory
Also at 1st level, you can forge a magical bond with weapons
and armor. Over the course of an hour, you can perform a
binding ritual between you and one weapon, shield, or suit of
armor. The item must be within your reach throughout the
ritual, at the end of which you touch it and forge the bond.
This ritual can be performed during a short rest. You must be
proficient with the item in order to bond with it.
You cannot be disarmed of bonded weapons and shields,
and bonded armor cannot be removed from your body, unless
you are incapacitated. Bonded weapons count as magical for
the purposes of overcoming resistance and immunity to
nonmagical attacks and damage if they are not magical
already. Finally, it takes an action to don or doff bonded
armor and shields.
You can only have a number of bonded items at a time up
to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). If you attempt
to bond with an item over that limit, the oldest bond ends.

Fighting Style
Starting at 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as
your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't
take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later
get to choose again.
Archery
You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged
weapons.
Blind Fighting
You have blindsight with a range of 10 feet. Within that range,
you can effectively see anything that isn't behind total cover,
even if you're blinded or in darkness. Moreover, you can see
an invisible creature within that range, unless the creature
successfully hides from you.
Defense
While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
Dueling
When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no
other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that
weapon.
Great Weapon Fighting
When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you
make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two
hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even
if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-
handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.
Scholarly Warrior
You learn two cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell
list. They count as magus spells for you, and Intelligence is
your spellcasting ability for them. Whenever you gain a level
in this class, you can replace one of these cantrips with
another cantrip from the wizard spell list.
Two-Weapon Fighting
When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your
ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

are property of Wizards of the Coast. ©Wizards of the Coast LLC.
Spellcasting
Also at 2nd level, yu have studied the arcane long enough to
be able to cast spells.
Spell Slots
The Magus table shows how many spell slots you have to cast
your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells,
you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You
regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell zephyr strike
and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you
can cast zephyr strike using either slot.
Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the magus
spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Magus table shows when
you learn more magus spells of your choice. Each of these
spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For
instance, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn
one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can
choose one of the magus spells you know and replace it with
another spell from the magus spell list, which also must be of
a level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your magus spells,
as your magic draws on your study of the arcane. You use
your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting
ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when
setting the saving throw DC for a magus spell you cast and
when making an attack roll with one.
Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Intelligence modifier
Spell Attack Modifier = Your proficiency bonus + your
Intelligence modifier
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus or a bonded item as a
spellcasting focus for your magus spells.
Arcane Imbuement
Finally, at 2nd level, you also learn how to imbue weapons
and armor with magical effects. You know a 2 imbuements of
your choice from the options detailed at the end of the class
description. When you gain certain magus levels, you learn
additional imbuements of your choice, as shown in the
Imbuements Known column of the Magus table. When you
gain a level in this class, you can replace one known
imbuement with another.
As a bonus action, you can expend a magus spell slot and
choose one weapon, set of armor, or shield you are currently
wearing or wielding. That item gains the effects of one known
imbuement of your choice. The effect changes depending on
what item is imbued, as detailed in the imbuement's
description.
You can only have one weapon and one shield or set of
armor imbued at one time. If you attempt to imbue an item
while over this limit, the first imbuement ends. A single item
can only carry one imbuement at a time.
If an imbuement requires a saving throw, the DC equals
your magus spell save DC. A creature can only suffer the
effects of a failed saving throw for each imbuement once per
round.
An imbuement ends early if you fall unconscious or die.
Only you can benefit from the effects of imbued items.
Magical Armaments
At 3rd level, your bonded items are infused with greater
magic. As a bonus action, you can call any of your bonded
items to you if they are on the same plane. You immediately
don a bonded suit of armor or shield, and a bonded weapon
appears in your hand.
Additionally, choose one of your bonded items. If it is a
weapon, it gains a +1 bonus to all attack and damage rolls
you make with it; if it a shield or suit of armor, it grants an
additional +1 to your Armor Class while wearing it. When
you finish a long rest, you can choose a different bonded item
to gain this benefit. You cannot use this feature on an item
that is already magical.
At 9th level, you can grant 2 items this benefit, or grant one
item a +2 bonus instead. At 17th level, you can grant 3 items
this benefit, grant one item a +2 bonus and one item a +1
bonus, or grant one item a +3 bonus instead. When you finish
a long rest, you can change which item(s) are granted which
bonuses.
Order of Magi
Also at 3rd level, you have trained in the techniques of one of
the magus orders. Choose the Order of the Herald, the Order
of the Inquisitor, the Order of the Nexus, the Order of the
Paragon, the Order of the Vindicator, or the Order of the
Warden, each detailed at the end of the class description.
Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th,
10th, 15th, and 20th level.
Order Spells
Each order has a list of associated spells. You learn these
spells at the levels specified in the order description. They
count as magus spells for you, but don't count against the
number of magus spells you know. You also learn a cantrip,
which also counts as a magus spell for you.

are property of Wizards of the Coast. ©Wizards of the Coast LLC.
 Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and
19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice
by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by
1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20
using this feature.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once,
whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Power Surge
At 6th level, you gain the ability to output as much arcane
energy as possible when you need to. When you or another
creature rolls your Arcane Power die, you can choose to
instead use the highest number possible for that die. For
example, if your Arcane Power die is a d6, you could choose
to use 6 instead of rolling it.
You can use this feature before or after the Arcane Power
die is rolled but before any effects of the roll take place.
You can use this feature once, and regain the ability to do
so when you finish a long rest. At 11th level, this increases to
2 uses, and again at 17th level to 3 uses.
Spell and Sword
At 13th level, you learn how to better blend both blade and
magic. When you use your action to cast a magus spell, you
can make a weapon attack as a bonus action.
Residual Magic
At 14th level, you can can use some of the residual arcane
energy of spells you cast. When you cast a magus spell of 1st
level or higher, the next weapon attack you hit before the start
of your next turn deals additional force damage equal to the
level of the spell.
Permanent Imbuement
At 18th level, you have permanently enchanted an item with
an imbuement. Choose one weapon, shield, or set of armor. It
is always considered imbued with one imbuement of your
choice. It counts against the number of imbuements you can
have at once, but it doesn't end when you fall unconscious.
Over the course of an hour, you can change which item is
permanently imbued. You can also change the item's
imbuement during this time; however, you can also do this as
a bonus action by expending a magus spell slot.
Orders of Magi
To be a magus requires a great amount of training. A magus
replicates the teachings of their master, honing the craft
further. And when several magi with similar training and
philosophies come together, they form an order.
Magi orders are very loose in structure, acting more as
ideologies and disciplines rather than actual gatherings of
magi—though there are certainly associations of magi that
spread their teachings through mentorship.
Six orders—the Herald, the Inquisitor, the Nexus, the
Paragon, the Vindicator, and the Warden—stand as the main
traditions of the magi.

At 15th level, your ability to summon creatures is more easily

granted by your Herald Magic feature.

At 20th level, you can call any object or creature you desire to

ritual, naming a specific object or creature.
If the creature or object is Huge size or larger, is bound or
contained magically, or succeeds on a Charisma saving throw
against your magus spell save DC, then this feature fails.
Otherwise, it succeeds, and the creature or object appears in
an unoccupied space of your choosing within 10 feet of you.
If this feature failed, you cannot use it again until you finish
a long rest. If it succeeded, you can't use it again for 7 days.

Order of the Nexus
Nexuses are masters of destructive magic. Members of this
order, aware of their limited magic capabilities due to their
split training, seek to harness as much arcane power as they
can with as little effort as possible. This magic is often
applied to battle, as Nexuses prefer to use evocation magic.

Touch of Destruction
At 3rd level, your Touch of the Magi improves. Instead of
adding it to a saving throw, a creature marked by your Touch
of the Magi can end it on themselves when they make a
damage roll to roll your Arcane Power die. They then gain a
bonus to the roll equal to the result.
Eldritch Conduit
Also at 3rd level, you become a master of channeling arcane
power through yourself. When you cast a magus spell that
deals damage, you can roll your Arcane Power die and add it
to one damage roll of the spell.
Gather Power
At 7th level, you learn how to focus arcane energy to make
your spells more potent. When you cast a spell of 1st level or
higher as an action, you can choose to gather power for it.
When you do so, you do not cast the spell, and instead must
concentrate on it until you use your action on your next turn
to cast the spell.
When you do this, the spell is cast as though you had
expended a spell slot of one level higher to cast it. Once you
use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short
or long rest.
Focus of the Magi
At 10th level, you gain extraordinary focus when casting
spells. While concentrating on a magus spell, your
concentration can't be broken as a result of taking damage.
Arcane Recall
At 15th level, you gain the ability to regain expended arcane
power. Over the course of a 1 minute, you can meditate and
roll your Arcane Power die. You recover expended magus
spell slots with a combined level equal to the result.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
finish a long rest.
Sundering
At 20th level, you can create large blasts of arcane
destruction. You have a pool of d12's equal to your magus
level. As an action, you can expend all of those dice and pick
any number of creatures within 120 feet of you. Divide the
dice among them. A chosen creature must make a
Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC.
Roll the dice for a chosen creature; it takes force damage
equal to the result if it failed the saving throw, or half as much
if it succeeded. A creature reduced to 0 hit points by this
feature is instantly destroyed, and cannot be returned to life
except by the intervention of a deity.
You regain all the expended dice for this feature when you
finish a long rest.

bonus to the roll equal to the result.
Arcane Strike
Also at 3rd level, rather than imbuing your weapons, you can
infuse your individual strikes with arcane energy.
When you make a weapon attack, you can expend one spell
slot to deal force damage to the target, in addition to the
weapon's damage. The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level
spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than 1st, to a
maximum of 5d8.

At 10th level, you learn how to imbue your weapon for a
single strike. When you use your Arcane Strike feature, you
can choose an imbuement that you know and infuse its
power into your strike. Instead of force damage, the extra
damage is of the same type as the imbuement, and your
weapon attack gains the additional effects of the chosen
imbuement's weapon option.

 Eldritch Barrier
At 3rd level, you learn how to create a magical barrier to
protect you and your allies. As an action on your turn, you can
manifest an eldritch barrier in a space within 30 feet of you. It
can be in any orientation you choose; horizontal, vertical, or at
an angle. It must be 10 feet by 15 feet, and it is 1/4 inch thick.
The barrier is translucent. Any creature that is targetted by
an attack or spell gains the benefits of half cover if the attack
or spell goes through the barrier, as it mostly stops the spell
or attack from passing through it.
When you manifest the barrier, you can choose any number
of creatures to be immune to the barrier's effects. A chosen
creature's attacks and spells are unaffected by the barrier
while it is active.
The barrier lasts for 1 minute. As a bonus action while the
barrier is active, you can move the barrier up to 10 feet or
change its orientation. The barrier cannot move through
creatures unless you chose them to be immune to the effects
of the barrier.
Once you manifest the barrier, you cannot do so again until
you finish a long rest.

Arcane Imbuements
Imbuements were developed by the first magi to be a means
of greatly enhancing their combat capabilities for a short
time. Very few non-magi understand the workings behind
these techniques despite their seemingly simple nature. The
means by which imbuements function is a secret kept by the
magi, lest people without the proper training use them.
A magus is defined not only by their order, but their choice
of imbuement techniques as well. They lend great offensive
and defensive capabilities, and knowing how and when to use
which imbuements is the mark of a magus who has mastered
their craft.

effect made before the end of your next turn equal to one roll
of your Arcane Power die.

(rounded down) until the start of your next turn.
Armor. While wearing this imbued suit of armor or shield,
you can use your reaction when a creature within 5 feet of
you hits you with an attack to force all creatures of your
choice within 5 feet of you to make a Dexterity saving throw.
On a failure, roll your Arcane Power die; each creature that
failed takes acid damage equal to the result.
