HD: d4
Skills: 2 + Int mod, gaining all skills on both the Wizard and Sorcerer skill lists
Spellcasting: The Arcanist can cast a certain number of Arcane spells per day, as listed above in Spells per Day. However, Arcanists do not cast spells from specific slots the way a wizard does. Instead, they choose a number of spells to prepare each day as shown above. The arcanist can then cast any of her prepared spells as many times as she likes, up to the maximum limit of spells per day on the chart above + bonus spells for both high Intelligence AND high Charisma. An Arcanist automatically learns three new spells per level, including her Signature Spells for that level, if they are spells the Arcanist does not yet know.
Signature Spells: The Arcanist gains a small number of signature spells, for which she has an innate talent. These spells are always considered prepared, even if the Arcanist has not had enough time to rest and prepare a new set of spells for the day.
Bonus Feat: As the wizard ability
Reactive Epiphany: As the self-proclaimed masters of the arcane, Arcanists are always eager to pick up new spells wherever they can find them. On a successful Spellcraft check, DC 20+Spell Level, an Arcanist who views an opponent cast any spell on the Arcanist spell list as an arcane spell can learn the spell. This check takes a penalty, however, if the caster the Arcanist views does not use Altanian magic or simple magic (core-PH classes). She must still write in down in her spellbook before she can prepare it, however.
Sigil of Power: Each Arcanist has a unique Arcane Mark called a Sigil of Power, which is located somewhere on her body and connects her to the eldritch flows. Once per day, the Arcanist may tap her Sigil to gain a +1 to caster level for a single spell, which does not require an action.
Greater Sigil: The Arcanist's Sigil becomes more powerful, allowing her to add +1 to DC as well as +1 to caster level for a single spell, without expending an action. She may now use this ability twice a day.
Major Sigil: The Arcanist's Sigil gains limited sentience from fragments of the Arcanist's own mind connected to the eldritch flows. Instead of increasing caster level and DC, the Arcanist may opt to connect her spell to this sentience, releasing any eligible spell as a Living Spell (see MM3). If the Living Spell was instantaneous, it dissipates after delivering its effect. If it has a duration, it remains for that duration. If the spell requires Concentration, this does not remove that requirement.
Supreme Sigil: The Arcanist's Sigil has wired the flows of eldritch energy directly into the Arcanist's mind and soul, allowing her to cast unusual spells more efficiently. Instead of increasing the caster level and DC by +1, she may opt to decrease the cost of a Metamagic Feat by 1 spell level, to a minimum of 0, which does not require an action, although she may only use this ability at most once per spell. She may now use her Sigil abilities thrice per day.
