Level 1

You gain the Magical Strike action, which allows you to strike with a magic-infused weapon or unarmed attack.

Magical Strike

Source Delioth Homebrew

Version 0.3.0

You infuse an attack with magical power. Make a Strike with a weapon or unarmed attack. This Strike deals an additional 1d8 damage of the same type as the attack’s base damage. Many Spellblade Stances may change this effect's damage type, or give other secondary uses or effects to it.

Level 1

You draw upon the power of your Discipline for some basic magical tasks. You can cast cantrips using the Cast a Spell activity, and you can supply material, somatic, and verbal components when casting cantrips. You do not gain spell slots. Your spell attack and DC proficiency is the same as your proficiency rank in your spellblade class DC, but your casting ability is determined by your Discipline.

You can cast your cantrips at will, any number of times per day. A cantrip is always automatically heightened to half your level rounded up.

You learn 2 cantrips, chosen from the tradition your Discipline grants.

Level 1

As a spellblade, you rely on special stances and forms to harness and refine magical energy in a way completely distinct from the standard repertoire of spellcasters. Eldritch stances are a special type of spell that are also a stance. Eldritch stances are usually cantrips, though some may be noted as focus spells. When an Eldritch stance is a focus spell, it costs 1 Focus Point to cast the stance. Most Eldritch stances will also grant you access to cast a focus spell when you leave the stance and stop channeling that stance's form.

You start with a focus pool of 1 Focus Point. You refill your focus pool during your daily preparations, and you can regain 1 Focus Point by spending 10 minutes using the Refocus activity to drill the basic forms or meditate on your Discipline.

Focus Spells are automatically heightened to half your level rounded up, much like cantrips. Focus spells don't require spell slots, and you can't cast them using spell slots. Taking feats can give you more focus spells and increase the size of your focus pool, though your focus pool can never hold more than 3 Focus Points. The fuCRll rules for focus spells appear on page 300 of the Pathfinder 2nd Edition Core Rulebook.

Most Eldritch stances are special eldritch cantrips that don't cost focus points, so you can enter them as often as you like. Eldritch cantrips are in addition to the cantrips you choose from your discipline's spell list. Generally, only feats can give you more Eldritch stance cantrips. You learn the elementary stance Eldritch stance cantrip, which spends your energized condition to increase your damage.
