Wow, the glimpse weakness amp is just genuinely terrible. At level 17, the best it will ever get, you get a whooping 7.5 average damage over the unamped version. On one target, once. That is literally never a good investment. Even at level 1 and two you have guidance.

Amped glimpse weakness is basically a delayed force bolt with potential to crit, which is not that bad. Not worth it over the unamped glimpse weakness though, I agree. Just highlights how good the base cantrip is.

It could be I am missing something (and please let me know if I am), but is there any reason why you cannot cast Glimpse Weakness 3 times on the same target for your turn (using amped as desired), so that the next hit on the creature triggers all three? The duration is 1 minute, the spell doesn't say you can't target a creature that is already under its effect.

I don't know if that makes it any better per se.

It was also specifically talked about during pre-release teasers that the Magus didn't get a level 1 feat (but got a ton of other stuff).

You are right. I didn't realize that about Oracle and Witch.

I am not absolutely certain that this is an error, but it appears that the magus does not have any way to start with a level 1 class feat. Most classes either get to take one at level one, or receive one in connection selecting a subclass (e.g., druid order, arcane thesis). Unless I am missing something, the only way a magus gets a level 1 feat would be to select one at a later even level.

Maybe its intended, but I have doubts.
