Magus Stunts

Stunts that assist in making characters that ply both blade and spell.

Aura Of The Magi: Because I have trained as a Magus and am adept at using my magic to protect myself from nearly any sort of harm, once per session I may reflexively use my magic to avoid taking stress from a single non-social attack of my choice. I may choose to use this ability after I have made a defense check.

Chilling Blade: Because I am able to generate a magical aura of intense elemental cold around my weapon, when I attack with my weapon and inflict a consequence I may also add a circumstantial Aspect with two free invocations to my target called Chilled To The Bone. This Aspect can be overcome by appropriate magic as a Superb (+5) difficulty, or by mundane means of warming the target up as a Great (+4) difficulty (but this usually takes more than an exchange to set up). If the target already has this Aspect applied to them I may add another invocation. This Aspect can be invoked by anyone to hamper the actions of the target. I cannot use this Stunt on targets that are immune to cold.

Shield Of The Sword-magi: Because I have trained as a Sword Magi and am adept at using my magic to protect myself in combat, if I gain a boost when defending with either Combative or Arcane, I may upgrade the boost to the spell Aspect Shield Of The Sword-Magi, with two (2) invokes. I may invoke this Aspect when defending or to overcome harmful situational Aspects.

Shocking Blade: Because I am able to generate a magical paralyzing shock around my weapon, when I would roll 4dF to attack with my weapon I may instead roll 6dF and choose the four (4) best dice for my result. This is an electric attack and I cannot use this Stunt against opponents who are immune to electricity.

Spellstrike of the Sword-magi: Because I have trained as a Sword Magi and can fight using my magic and my blade in tandem, if I attack an opponent in the same zone while being Quickly Combative and get a boost I may immediately invoke the boost to attack a second target in the same zone while being Quickly Arcane.

Sword-magi: Because I have trained as a Sword Magi and can fight using my magic and my blade in tandem, when I am being Combative I may add my Arcane capability to attack with a sword.

Champion Sword-magi (-2): Because I have trained as a Sword Magi and can fight using my magic and my blade in tandem, when I am being Combative I may add my Arcane capability to attack and defend with a sword.

Master Sword-magi (-3): Because I have trained as a Sword Magi and can fight using my magic and my blade in tandem, when I am being Combative I may add my Arcane capability to attack and defend with a sword. Further, when I am Arcanely attacking or creating advantage against one or more targets in my own zone I may add my Combative capability if it is appropriate to the narrative.

Sword Of The Sword-magi: Because I have trained as a Sword Magi and am adept at using my magic in conjunction with my blade, if I gain a boost when attacking while being Combative or Arcane, I may upgrade the boost to the spell Aspect Sword Of The Sword-Magi, with two (2) invokes. This allows me to imbue my sword with magical power.

Vampiric Blade: Because I am able to generate a magical necromantic aura around my weapon, when I attack with my weapon and inflict a consequence I may clear one of my stress boxes or my Mild consequence. This is a life-affecting attack and I cannot use this Stunt against opponents who are not living such as constructs, undead, and some outsiders (GM's discretion applies).
