Let me know what you think. All I've done sis design it, and now I'm playing the first one of the class that has been made, so its definitely in the playtest phase. Of course, being as he character started at 16th level, its a bit hard to playtest the lower levels of the class...
Then hopefully you'll like this as well. Its a spellcaster who specializes in the mana weave, and rules for using the weave for duels.
The only other mana thing I have currently is a Mana Elemental (which is actually an aberration, but is mistakenly referred to as an elemental.) They feed on magic, and can be captured and used to power spells.
I guess I'm boring when it comes to weapon abilities. I'd just get any old +7 enhancement bonus weapon; prefering either a Longsword +7 or a Greatsword +7.
