Cantrips: 1

You know three cantrips of your choice from the spellblade spell list. You learn one additional spellblade cantrip of your choice at 4th, 8th, 12th, and 16th level.

Arcanum Charges: 1

You can store arcane energy in your blade, building toward powerful expressions. This energy is represented by Arcanum Charges.

Gaining Charges. When you cast a spell using a spell slot, you gain Arcanum Charges:

• Casting a spell with a Primary Slot grants you 1 Arcanum Charge
• Casting a spell with a Secondary Slot grants you 2 Arcanum Charges

You gain these charges after resolving the spell's effects.

Maximum Charges. You can hold a maximum number of Arcanum Charges equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). Any charges gained beyond this maximum are lost.

Losing Charges. Your Arcanum Charges fade when you finish a short or long rest, as the stored energy dissipates.

Cantrip Strike: 1

When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can spend 1 Arcanum Charge, or a Primary Slot to channel a cantrip through the strike. The cantrip manifests immediately with the following modifications:

• If the cantrip deals damage, the target takes that damage in addition to the weapon's damage.
• If the cantrip forces a saving throw, the target automatically fails.
• If the cantrip requires an attack roll, it automatically hits
• If the cantrip has an area of effect, it is centered on the target, and you are unaffected by it.

You can use this feature only with cantrips you know. You do not need to take the Magic action to use Cantrip Strike as the cantrip is unleashed as part of the attack.

Spellcasting: 2

You have learned to weave arcane magic through your blade, casting spells as you fight.

Spell Slots. The Spellblade Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

Spellcasting Economy. Casting a spell with a Cantrip requires one action. Casting a spell with a Primary or Secondary Spell Slot requires two actions.

Spells Known. You know three spellblade spells of your choice from the spellblade spell list. The Spells Known column of the Spellblade Spellcasting table shows when you learn more spells. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one spellblade spell you know with another spell of your choice from the spellblade spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your spellblade spells. The DC for your spell saving throws equals your Mental DC (8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier).

Spellcasting Focus. You can use a weapon with which you are proficient as a spellcasting focus for your spellblade spells.

Potent Cantrip Strike: 10

Whenever you hit a creature with a melee weapon, the target takes an extra 1d8 force damage.

Weave Strike: 11

You can unleash your stored energy in a devastating combination of steel and sorcery.

Weave Strike. As a 2-action ability, you can spend 3 Arcanum Charges and expend a Secondary Spell Slot to make one melee weapon attack and cast a spell using that slot simultaneously. The spell manifests through the strike, using its normal casting time, range, and effects.

The spell's target or area of effect originates from the creature you hit with the weapon attack. If the spell would normally require an attack roll, that roll is replaced by the success of your weapon attack, if your weapon attack hits, the spell hits. If the spell requires a saving throw, the targets have disatvantage.

You can use this feature once. You regain the ability to do so when you finish a short or long rest.

• Overwhelming. The spell's saving throws are made with disadvantage.
• Echoing. The spell affects an additional target within range.
