The arcane spell list (understand: (5e's wizard+warlock spell list. No, sorcs do not have a spell list) offers plenty of badass manga-like fighting spells.Teleport behind an enemy to surprise attack him? Misty step. A sword invisible harder to block? Shadow blade reads "when you use the sword to attack a target that is in dim light or darkness, you make the attack roll with advantage." Disguise as the enemy's ally for confusion? Disguise self not withstanding, you're probably heavily underestimating phantasmal force. Summon a weapon? You really hate Shadow blade, don't you? Otherly dimension duel? That's wish territory. Depending on the conditions, the effects you describe border on the realm of 9th level.So you see, there is plenty of options for arcane weapon combat. Actualy, make your life simpler and simply assume there are arcane options for everything. Even porn....Forget I wrote that.Anyway: the spells are there. What's missing is something that both has the spell slots early enough to make use of it before the end of the campaign, and the bulk to survive bringing them in melee range. Plus feature that sublimate the base effects of those spells (exemple: generic level 3 theoretical Gish feature - You have advantage on weapon attacks when landing from a teleportation effect. There. You got your teRepoLUtationuuuu suRashuuuuuu)If I may be so bold, I would hazard the guess that what you're looking for is not options, but explosiveness. You want to feel like your combat is an Avenger's movie. Or a Shonen. Or a Gods of War game. And there is nothing wrong with that.That said, that mentality should not be represented in the core RAW. Because once they open that gate, you can't take the toy back from the kids.The good news though? Homebrew is meant to be overpowered. So go wild, tiger.Also: Have you ever tried 3.5 or Pathfinder? Something tells me it might just be right up your alley.In my opinion, anyway.</blockquote>
