Arcane Pool (Su): At 1st level, the magus gains a reservoir of mystical arcane energy that he can draw upon to fuel his powers and enhance his weapon. This arcane pool has a number of points equal to 1/2 his magus level (minimum 1) + his Intelligence modifier. The pool refreshes once per day when the magus prepares his spells. At 1st level, a magus can expend 1 point from his arcane pool as a swift action to grant any weapon he is holding a +1 enhancement bonus for 1 minute. For every four levels beyond 1st, the weapon gains another +1 enhancement bonus, to a maximum of +5 at 17th level. These bonuses can be added to the weapon, stacking with existing weapon enhancement to a maximum of +5. Multiple uses of this ability do not stack with themselves. At 5th level, these bonuses can be used to add any of the following weapon properties: dancing, flaming, flaming burst, frost, icy burst, keen, shock, shocking burst, speed, or vorpal. Adding these properties consumes an amount of bonus equal to the property’s base price modifier. These properties are added to any the weapon already has, but duplicates do not stack. If the weapon is not magical, at least a +1 enhancement bonus must be added before any other properties can be added. These bonuses and properties are decided when the arcane pool point is spent and cannot be changed until the next time the magus uses this ability. These bonuses do not function if the weapon is wielded by anyone other than the magus. A magus can only enhance one weapon in this way at one time. If he uses this ability again, the first use immediately ends. Spell Combat (Ex): At 1st level, a magus learns to cast spells and wield his weapons at the same time. This functions much like two-weapon fighting, but the off-hand weapon is a spell that is being cast. To use this ability, the magus must have one hand free (even if the spell being cast does not have somatic components), while wielding a light or one-handed melee weapon in the other hand. As a full-round action, he can make all of his attacks with his melee weapon at a –2 penalty and can also cast any spell from the magus spell list with a casting time of 1 standard action (any attack roll made as part of this spell also takes this penalty). If he casts this spell defensively, he can decide to take an additional penalty on his attack rolls, up to his Intelligence bonus, and add the same amount as a circumstance bonus on his concentration check. If the check fails, the spell is wasted, but the attacks still take the penalty. A magus can choose to cast the spell first or make the weapon attacks first, but if he has more than one attack, he cannot cast the spell between weapon attacks. Diminished Spellcasting: A kensai may cast one fewer spell of each level than normal. If this reduces the number to 0, he may cast spells of that level only if his Intelligence allows bonus spells of that level. Canny Defense (Ex): At 1st level, when a kensai is wielding his chosen weapon, he gains the canny defense ability. This is identical to the duelist prestige class ability of the same name, save that his chosen weapon may be of any type. d20pfsrd.com wrote: When wearing light or no armor and not using a shield, a duelist adds 1 point of Intelligence bonus (if any) per duelist class level as a dodge bonus to her Armor Class while wielding a melee weapon. If a duelist is caught flat-footed or otherwise denied her Dexterity bonus, she also loses this bonus. Weapon Focus (Ex): At 1st level, a kensai gains Weapon Focus with his chosen weapon as a bonus feat. Spells:

Age: 19 Height: 6'8" Weight: 225 lbs Volaticus is an immensely tall figure with skin as dark as charcoal. He normally keeps his wings folded around him and covers them with a large cloak. This gives him the appearance of being much more broadly built than he actually is. Eyeglasses sit atop his long, pointy nose. His wings are large and are full of long black feathers. A bald head sits on moderately broad shoulders.
Backstory:
Rough version Volaticus was born to a family of wealthy Syrinx. His life was short, he had a terminal deformity that could not be healed by normal medicine nor magic. Upon his death his parents spent a large portion of their fortune in the attempt to bring him back. They managed to find a priest who could but at a cost. He would likely not have the same body. Despite this his parents had the priest reincarnate him. He came back in the body of a Strix. Now, the thing you have to know about Strix is they are one of the most common slaves of Syrinx. His parents, disgusted by the fact that he was now a lowly Strix, disowned him. Without a family Volaticus had to become a slave and live off the rations. A few months later a revolt was staged by the Strix. In the confusion Volaticus managed to escape. At war with the intelligent mind that came from the scholarly Syrinx and the brutal instincts of a Strix, Volaticus fled. This conflict led to a lot of self hatred which later prompted him to adopt the name 'Volaticus Teufel', which literally means winged devil (what the strix are often called) In his travels he managed to pick up a few tidbits on magic and it intrigued him. With his natural stealthiness he was able to observe some traveling wizards and was able to pick up a few things, but they soon found and attacked him. He was forced to continue fleeing. In his travels he came upon a small, unassuming town in southern Taldor. This was Heldren. Far from where the myth of the winged devils known as Strix are told, Volaticus was able to thrive.
