Hello Everyone,

Can a Magus with the Hexcrafter archetype use a level dip into witch with the Scarred Witch Doctor archetype to apply the Constitution Dependent feature on Magus spells and hexes gained from taking Hex Arcana?

My initial reaction was to disallow it but the player pointed out that the Crossblooded Orc/Draconic sorcerer dip used by Admixture wizard blasters applies the bloodline arcana to the Wizard spells thereby crossing the class barrier. Now I am second guessing myself.

The way the Constitution Dependent feature is written makes no mention of the feature only applying to the spells and hexes gained from Witch class levels short of the opening phrase which says "a scarred witch doctor". I'm not sure if that is implying the feature only applies to the witch doctor levels or if anyone who takes a level in the class is now called a scarred witch doctor. I figured if it were allowed, I'd be able to find a post or guide regarding it since it seems really powerful for a Strength-based Magus when coupled with the Orc strength bonus.

Maybe it is sub-optimal or maybe I'm missing something blatantly obvious but any help with a RAW interpretation of this would be greatly appreciated because I don't see any reason to deny it when I've allowed the Crossblooded Sorcerer dip to work.

Thanks,
