The Dweomer Witch.

Eldritch Blade: the dweomer witch creates a short sword, long sword, or great sword out of pure magical energy; it appears in her hand. The witch is proficient with the blade, which acts in all ways like a normal sword, except that it counts as magical for purposes of bypassing damage reduction, and is considered a force effect for purposes of damaging incorporeal beings. Only the witch who created it can use the sword. She can create it or dispel it at will, either requiring a standard action. The sword disappears when out of the witch’s grasp.
Dweomerfire: The dweomer witch launches a blast of pure magical energy from her hand at a target within 50 feet. It inflicts 2d6 points of damage plus 1d6 per two witch levels, although a Reflex saving throw (DC 10+half the witch’s level+ the witch’s Wisdom modifier) reduces the damage by half. The witch can use dweomerfire a number of times per day equal to her Wisdom bonus; witches with no bonus can use dweomerfire once per week. This is a standard action
Mystic Melody: The dweomer witch can sing a melody which surrounds her with a mystic barrier. This barrier carries no movement, armor check, or spell failure penalties. It gives the witch a deflection bonus to her armor class equal to her Wisdom modifier + an additional deflection bonus equal to +1 per five witch levels. Singing a mystic melody is a full round action, but the barrier lasts until dispelled; it does not remain in place when the witch is asleep or unconscious.
Mystic Tempest: Once per day as a standard action the dweomer witch creates a swirling burst of raw mystical energy anywhere within 100 feet of her, with a diameter of 20 feet. All within the area suffer 1d6 points of damage plus 1d6 per two witch levels, although a Reflex save (DC 10 + half the witch’s level+ the witch’s Wisdom modifier) reduces the damage by half.
Word of Power: As a standard action, the dweomer witch may speak a word of power. If the witch then on the next round casts a spell or uses a witchery power that allows a saving throw, the saving throw DC increases by 2. The bonus must be used in the round following the use of this power, or it is lost. The witch may use this power a number of times per day equal to her Wisdom bonus. Witches with no bonus may use this power once per week.
