About Arlequine

Once a promising Osirionogist, Arlequin was an up and coming scholar and archaeologist. Her mentors believed that her mind was sharp enough to uncover forgotten mysteries, and better yet, solve them. All that changed the day that Arlequin discovered a side tomb in the ruins her and her team were investigating.

There she found Steelsoul, an ancient and cursed blade of black steel. When Arlequin unsheathed it, the blade bound itself to her and the trauma struck Arlequin unconscious. A year later she awoke in a hospital in Cheliax. Steelsoul was there with its seductive song and soon Arlequin had left the university to be an adventurer.

She has made her way to the Pathfinders in Absalom where she hopes she can find out what Steelsoul is, what her new abilities are, and how to handle it all.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
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. The bladebound magus's arcane pool has a number of points equal to 1/3 his level (minimum 1) plus his Intelligence bonus. 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.
A magus can only enhance one weapon in this way at one time. If he uses this ability again, the first use immediately ends.
Black Blade (Ex) At 3rd level, the bladebound magus' gains a powerful sentient weapon called a black blade, whose weapon type is chosen by the magus (see sidebar). A magus with this class feature cannot take the familiar magus arcana, and cannot have a familiar of any kind, even from another class.
