Class Abilities:
Sneak Attack: The Spell Filcher is able to Sneak Attack as per the Rogue class ability gaining +1d6 damage at 1st, 5th,9th,13th, and 17th levels This ability replaces Consume Spells, and the Arcane Exploits gained at each other level that sneak attack is gained beyond 1st.

Arcane Bond:This is as per the wizard ability of the same name and Arcanist levels count as and stack with wizard levels for purposes of this ability.
Arcane Trapper (Su): The Spell Filcher can expend 1 pt from his Arcane Reservoir to gain an enhancement bonus to perception checks made to find traps, and to disable device checks made to disarm traps equal to 1/2 his Arcanist level (minimum 1).

Shadow Speed(Su): While using the Stealth skill the Spell Filcher can expend 1 point from his Arcane Reservoir as a swift action to gain the benefits of a Haste spell (self only) as if the spell was cast at the Arcanist's class level. This effect ends immediately if the Spell Filcher breaks stealth.
Sixth Sense (Su): The Arcanist gains the ability to sense traps and can make a perception check merely by passing within 10' of one. Additionally, the Arcanist can spend 1 pt from his Arcane Reservoir as an immediate action to gain a deflection bonus to his AC vs. traps and a dodge bonus to his Reflex saves vs. Traps for 1 round equal to +1 per 4 Arcanist levels.
Spell Disruption
Spell Resistance
Spell Jack (Su): Whenever the Spell Filcher successfully sneak attacks an enemy spell caster, he can forgo dealing any number of dice of sneak attack damage. if he does so, the Spell Filcher can steal a spell from them either by removing it from memory or expending an available spell slot (Arcanists choice) The stolen spell is chosen randomly from the highest level the enemy caster has, or the number of sneak attack dice sacrificed to activate this ability which ever is lower. The Stolen spell or spell slot is unavailable to the enemy spell caster until the next time they rest for at least 8 hours. The Spell Filcher adds points to his arcane reservoir equal to the level of the stolen spell up to his max reservoir size. Cantrips and Orisons can be stolen in this way but do not provide any points to the Spell Filcher. This Ability replaces the Arcane Exploit gained at 3rd level
