Spell Slot Progression
As a Magus, your spell slot progression deviates from that of a standard caster. Starting from 4th level, you possess a total of 4 spell slots: 2 at the highest level accessible to a caster of comparable advancement and 2 at a level lower.
Upon reaching levels 1, 2, and 3, you will be equipped with 1 first-level spell slot, 2 first-level spell slots, and 2 first-level spell slots along with 1 second-level spell slot, respectively.
Multiclassing
when multiclassing, for the purpose of spell slot progression, having levels in Magus does NOT increase your caster level. The spell slot progression for full casters and the Magus are separate, much like with the Warlock’s spell progression.
Level 1
Arcane Pool: Starting at level 1 you gain a pool Arcane Points equal to your Intelligence Modifier + your Magus level. All Arcane Points are recharged on a Long Rest. You can expend these points to use your Magus abilities.
Spell Casting: You are an arcane caster sharing the wizard's spell list. Intelligence is your Spellcasting modifier.You know 4 cantrips and learn additional ones at level 5, 10, and 17. You know 4 first level spells and may learn 1 additional spell each time you gain a level. You may learn additional spells through scrolls. You can prepare an amount of spells equal to your Intelligence Modifier + half your level.
Arcane Enhancement: As a bonus action, you may spend 1 Arcane Point to change your weapon's damage type to Fire, Cold, Acid, Lightning, or Thunder for 1 minute.
Magus Arcana: You may select 1 Arcana at level 1, 2, 3, and every odd level thereafter. Those Arcanas are unique to their level and can drastically alter the way you play Magus.
Hybrid Study (Subclass): You may choose from the Sparkling Targe, Inexorable Iron, Laughing Shadow, Twisting Tree and the Starlit Spans subclasses for the Magus. This will determine your starting equipment, Arcane Cascade's additional effect, Studious and Conflux spells, and subclass specific Arcanas down the line.
Conflux Spell: Your subclass choice grant you a conflux spell which can be used once per combat. All Conflux Spells are bonus action casts and can trigger Arcane Cascade. (use Conflux Refocus spell to recharge it out of combat)
Level 2
Spellstrike: Harnessing the power of Spellstrike, you gain the ability to launch a weapon attack in conjunction with casting a spell. This enables you to perform a melee weapon strike with the same roll of a preceding successful melee spell attack, as long as you haven't moved. (A Passive Toggle, when toggled on, you gain an extra attack after casting a qualified spell) (Spells cast with this feature uses your WEAPON ATTACK ROLL instead of your SPELL ATTACK ROLL)
Magus Arcana: You may select one 2nd level Magus Arcana.
Level 3
Arcane Cascade: When you cast a non-cantrip spell, your magic flows into your weapon and causes it to deal an additional 1d4 damage for the next 10 turns. This effect increases to 1d6 at level 5, 1d8 at level 10, 1d10 at level 14, and 1d12 at level 17 . The damage type depends on the school of the spell you have casted.
