Basically he uses raw magic (mana) to create armor and weapons for himself. The weapons he creates ignore Damage Reduction, but are affected by Spell Resistance (it grants DR = SR - 15). The armor he creates acts like Mage Armor, with the Armor Bonus and duration dependant upon the results of his Mana Weave skill check. At 16th level he can create a +7 melee weapon (which would be a Scimitar, since he has feats for them). He can also enhance the armor he creates with the Mana Weave skill by giving it up to +5 in special abilities. The Mana Weave skill generally allows firing bolts that do a d6, but the class changes them to be as if they were fired from a bow, and the &quot;bow&quot; can have up to +5 in enhancement bonuses / special abilities (but must have at least a +1 enhancement bonus to have any abilities). Since he’s a 16th level character, I figure he would know how to use these abilities fairly well, so I’m looking for ideas on enhancing his versatility.</blockquote>
