Daze - 25ft + 5 ft/2 levels. Humanoid 4 HD or less, single target. If fail Will save, no action for 1 round. Once affected, cannot be affected by spell again for 10 rounds.
Color spray - 15' cone, Will negates.
2HD or less: unconscious, blinded and stunned for 2d4 rounds, then blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, then stunned for 1 round. (non-living creatures are not knocked unconscious).

5 or more HD: Stunned for 1 round.
Sightless creatures are not affected.
Grease - range close (25ft + 5ft/2 levels), 1 object or 10' square, when cast, anyone in area must make Relfex save or fall. Walk half speed through area with DC 10 Acroboatics check (fail means don't move and make Reflex save or fall, fail by 5 or more means immediate fall). Creature can choose not to move and avoid any checks, and are not flat-footed. If cast on wielded item, wielder makes Reflex save - if fail, item is dropped. Save each round to pick item up. A creature with greased armor gets +10 on Escape Artist and CMB checks when grappled, and +1 to CMD to avoid being grappled.
Shield - self only, 1 minute/level (D), +4 shield AC, negates magic missiles, is force effect so also works against incorporeal attacks.
Shocking grasp - touch attack, 1d6/level damage, +3 to hit if target is wearing metal armor, is carrying a metal weapon, or is made of metal.
Vanish (APG) - range touch, 1 round/level(D) (max 5 rounds), invisibility
Web - range 100ft + 10ft /level, 20ft radius spread, 10 min./level(D). Must be anchored to two or more diametrically opposed solid points. Reflex save immediately for those inside the web - those that fail are grappled. Grappled creatures can break free by a CMB or Escape Artist check against spell DC. Entire area considered difficult terrain. Anyone moving through the webs (from inside, or just from outside?) must make a CMB or Escape Artist check against spell DC or become grappled in first web square entered. 5 ft of webs provide cover. 20 ft provides total cover. Fire burns away 1 5' square per round causing 2d4 points of fire damage to anyone in that square.
Scorching Ray - ranged touch, close (25ft + 5 ft/2 levels, 2 rays at 7th level, 3 at 11th, each cause 4d6 fire damage. Multiple targets must be within 30 feet of each other.
Frigid Touch (UM) - melee touch, hit causes 4d6 cold damage and target is staggered for 1 round, 10 rounds if it is a critical hit.
Mirror Image - 1 min/level, d4 + 1/3 level images created. If an attack misses by 5 or less, an image is destroyed. On an actual hit, roll randomly to see if you or an image is struck. Attacks not requiring an attack roll cannot destroy an image.

Combat Casting - +4 to Concentration check when casting defensively or while grappled. Note: Casting defensively = DC 15+double spell level
Opening Volley - when deal damage with a ranged attack, next melee attack on target is at +4 circumstance to hit. Must occur before end of next turn.

Favored Class - Magus (+1 hp/level)

---

Spell Combat - may treat as TWF (-2 all attacks), casting a spell with the offhand. Take additional penalty to attacks up to Int mod to add to any concentration check needed - all attacks suffer the penalty. Cannot cast spell between melee attacks.
Arcane pool - Points = magus level/2 (1 minimum) plus Int mod (plus 2 for Extra Arcane Pool). Recharges when prep spells. Can use point as a swift action to power up weapon with +1 enhancement (does not stack with masterwork to hit bonus, bonus added increases +1 at levels 5, 9, 13, 17 to a max of +5). Lasts for 10 rounds. If weapon already has a +1 enhancement (from arcane pool or otherwise), then dancing, flaming, flaming burst, frost, icy burst, keen, shock, shocking burst, speed or vorpal can be added as well. Each costs an amount equal to their plus cost in the magic items section. Currently, at 6th level, Aerysil can add a +2 bonus to his weapon to make it +3, or add +1 and keen, or +1 and frost, or just shocking burst, etc.
Spellstrike - may deliver touch spell through blade. Crit range of weapon is used, although spell only gets a x2 crit.
Spell Recall - as swift action, spend arcane points to recall a single spell already cast - 1 point per spell level of spell recalled.
Arcane Accuracy - as swift action, spend 1 arcane pool point to increase attacks by insight bonus of +Int mod until end of your turn
Empowered Magic - 1/day may cast any spell as if empowered. Casting time and level are not modified.
Medium Armor - proficient with medium armor, can now wear medium armor without suffering arcane spell failure
Knowledge Pool - when prepare spells, can spend arcane points (up to IntMod) to prepare ANY magus spell of a level that the magus has access to. Each point allows one new spell. These spells can be recalled using Spell Recall. When prepare spells again, the gained spells are lost.

Alchemist's Fire - ranged touch, 10 feet increment (-2 attack at 11 feet, -4 at 21 feet, etc. max range 50 feet). If miss, roll random square around target for strike location (1d8). All within 5 feet take 1 point fire damage (hit or miss). Target struck takes 1d6 fire damage, catches fire, and will take another 1d6 next round unless spend full round action putting out the flames (allows DC 15 Reflex save to avoid damage, +2 if roll on ground).
