So, this is the kind of thing that would probably be allowed at nobody's table, but it amuses me.
The Eldritch Font archetype of the Arcanist is probably a bad deal for most characters unless you can find some way of getting extra spells prepared per day (weirdly, the feat 'Expanded Preparation' does not give you an extra prepared spell but rather just gives you an extra slot of your highest level/ two of any other level that scales with you, so while it's actually pretty good, it can't help), since you effectively put yourself two levels behind a wizard for the entire campaign instead of just one in exchange for extra spell slots (which are, admittedly, still nice for the somewhat slot-starved Arcanist) and some spellbuffs you'll almost never use since they all leave you fatigued and are therefore pretty debilitating, and it burns 3 exploits.
However, literally the only break put upon those buffs is that they leave you fatigued - no limits per day, no use of arcane reservoir, nothing.
And the Android, whose stat arrays are pretty perfect for an Arcanist anyways, is immune to that condition. Therefore, it seems as though it can spam all of these all day:
Eldritch Surge (Su): At 3rd level, an eldritch font can, as a swift action, pour more power into her spells and abilities. She can add 2 to the caster level and DC of a spell, or increase her effective arcanist level by 2 when using an arcanist exploit. She becomes fatigued upon using this ability. If she is already fatigued, she becomes exhausted. If she’s already exhausted, or something would prevent her from becoming fatigued or exhausted, she cannot use this ability. This ability does not stack with spending points from her arcane reservoir to increase the spell’s caster level or DC (as the arcane reservoir class feature). Only rest can remove fatigue or exhaustion caused by an eldritch surge—spells and abilities have no effect. This ability replaces the arcanist exploit gained at 3rd level.
Improved Surge (Su): At 7th level, an eldritch font can use her eldritch surge ability to reroll an attack roll associated with a spell or arcanist exploit, or to reroll all of the damage dice associated with a spell or arcanist exploit. In the case of attack rolls, this ability must be used after the die is rolled but before the results are revealed. The eldritch font must take the results of the reroll, even if they are lower. This ability replaces the arcanist exploit gained at 7th level.
Greater Surge (Su): At 13th level, an eldritch font can use her eldritch surge ability to force a creature to reroll a saving throw against one spell or arcanist exploit and take the lower value. The eldritch font must declare the use of this ability before the result of that creature’s saving throw is revealed. If the spell or arcanist exploit affects more than one target, only one target is affected by this ability. This ability replaces the arcanist exploit gained at 13th level.
It's a swift action so you can't use all of them at once, but otherwise, you might as well drop one on every spell you cast. Your blasts all got blastier and your save-or-sucks all got save-or-suckier.
