As the Arcane Warrior gains levels, this manifests itself an increasing in the enchantment of the weapon, first at 4th level when it becomes magical (weapon must be masterwork) and it increases every four levels from then on. This bonus, along with any bonuses the focus may have or used through Weapon Enchantment, may not exceed a total of +10 market price modifier. An Arcane Warrior can only bond to one weapon at a time. If the focus is destroyed the Arcane Warrior cannot use any of his abilities until he does a full day ritual and sacrifices 100 GP per Arcane Warrior level to attune himself to a new weapon.Sense Focus: The Arcane Warrior can sense the approximate location of his focus as long as it is within 10 miles of him per Arcane Warrior level. The directions the Arcane Warrior gets is rough distance, direction and elevation.Shield Other: One designated person set by a ritual (usually the mage the arcane warrior is designated to protect) can have the spell Shield other cast on him once a day. Like the spell.Arcane Sight: 1/day cast at the user's arcane warrior level.Elemental Spark: The Arcane warrior's powers first manifest themselves through their focus. At first level the arcane warrior may manifest an aura of elemental energy (inflicts +1D6 elemental damage of choice) around his weapon for five rounds per power point. This damage does not stack with any other elemental aura power. This ability counts as a +1 market price modifier ability when used in conjunction with respects to the Arcane Focus, and weapon enchantment limits.Weapon Enchantment: At fifth level the elemental spark ability matures into the ability to summon forth other magical abilities onto his weapon. The Arcane warrior may add up to the listed Enchanted Weapon rating in magical weapon abilities to his weapon. Each power point fuels this ability for 5 rounds. The powers may change from round to round, changing the used powers is a free action, once a round. This may not be used to increase the enchantment bonus of the weapon. The entire rating does not need to be used but the leftovers do not carry over to other rounds. In conjunction with Arcane Focus, Elemental Spark and any enchantments natural to the weapon, the total bonus cannot exceed a +10 market price modifierSummon Weapon: As the Mage Blade power presented in Arcana UnearthedAny saves are calculated as follows:10+1/2 AW level + CHA modFeat 1:Spell-Like Ability 1Prereq: Cha 11+, AWA2+Power Cost: 2Endure Elements, Protection from Chaos/Evil/Good/Law (pick one), Shield, Sleep (Full Round) (If not discharged, weapon keeps spell 1/rnd/per caster level + cha), Hypnotism (Standard), Ray of Enfeeblement, Jump, Enlarge Person, Expeditious RetreatPick any one of the aboveFeat 2:Arcane Power StrikePrereq: Power Attack, Cha 13+, AWA6+Power Cost: 1 point per D6Single attack with (1 + (Arcane Warrior Lvl/2))d6 extra elemental damage as a standard action.
