There are also some nice Cantrips in the Sword Coast Adventurers guide that do wonders for gish types for little effort.Artifacts as a source of magical mutations? Sure, why not.It's about on par with the Draconic Resilience. A bit boring though.I don't get the need to restrict this to a bladed weapon. I know it's the "Swordmage" but it should work for a "Hammermage" too.Arcane focus bit is cool.A bonus action ranged attack is too much. It's also poorly worded (what's the ranged damage for a longsword?) and doesn't need level scaling for ranged attacks, a set range would be fine.The rest of it is an inferior variation of the Blade Pact Warlocks feature.  More powerful than the Draconic option. Is it OP? not in a vacuum, but this subclass has too much going for it already. Also it would stack with Agonizing blast for the warlock two-level dip of doom. Cover doesn't work against melee attacks. Unless you mean to be an exception, in which case that's OP.Total cover VS ranged attacks, at-will, on a class that has access to some of the best ranged attacks in the game, is OP.Er, this needs to be reworked. Yeah it uses concentration, but really, this defensive buff is better than a 6th level spell, without a spell slot or sorcery point spent! Draconic Sorcerers get the equivalent of a souped up 3rd level spell here, for comparison. 5 points for irresistible vulnerability to any damage type of your pick on any target whatsoever, for a duration of at least one minute? This is extremely broken. In multiple ways, the irresistible debuff, the long duration, the fact that your entire party also benifits from this. The fact that any spell you want to cast can benifit from this instead of just the sword. This is so off the wall I can't really recommend anything other than scrapping it.</blockquote>
