Okay, so suppose one would take one level of whatever gives or allows Arcane Strike and then keeps chugging into Paladin (Or Warpriest, or any other non-arcane caster), does it still fully scale along in that class?

This totally does not involve me wanting to build a Paladin of Apsu that borrows a schtick from the Dragonheir Scion.

Combinations of assorted 'power crystals" you crush on your hand and absorb the essence from.

"Absorb". Aka "totally not going scarface into those powders of might here" :')

You could always reflavor them like spell-ish things that take a different route. Like some old, all-but-forgotten rune magic that puts some essence into a more subtle package than the vocal, somatic evocation (hah) of spells.

As with a lot of classes, one can ask "What's in a name?"
