Spellfighter
Those poor deluded fools. So often you meet people who say that blending magic use with skill at arms is impossible, and to them you have but one answer: a blast of fire to the face. Not only do you know what’s possible—you prove it with your magical attacks. You exult in the wonder your mad skills evoke.
Some say your methods originated from a society of exceptional warrior-mages who threw themselves into both magic and skill at arms, all to protect the magicians who recruited them. You’ve heard tell that those spellfighters not only exceeded expectations but played a part in their masters’ undoing. Not that you care: you encompass the best of two worlds, and you dare anyone to stand in your way.

Spell-Charged Weapon (Magical): You can perform a ritual to imbue one weapon you touch for the entire performance with magical energy. When you finish, the weapon becomes charged until it’s destroyed or you use this talent again. Being charged in this way grants the following benefits:
- While you hold the weapon, you impose 1 bane on rolls against your Defense.
- When you attack with the weapon, you can use the higher of your Intellect or Will score in place of the attribute you normally use to attack with the weapon.
- When you attack with the weapon, you roll to attack with 1 boon.
- When you get a critical success on an attack using the weapon, you roll to attack the target with 1 boon until the end of your next turn.

Battle Casting: When you use an action to attack, you can also cast a novice spell as part of the attack, provided you can expend a casting to do so. Casting a spell in this way triggers additional effects from your Spellstrike talent. Once you use this talent, you lose access to it (luck ends).
