Spellstrike ◆◆ (Magus)Frequency until recharged. Effect Za Minyahil channels a spell into a punch or sword thrust to deliver a combined attack. They Cast a Spell that takes 1 or 2 actions to cast and requires a spell attack roll. The effects of the spell don’t occur immediately but are imbued into their attack instead. They make a melee Strike with a weapon or unarmed attack. Their spell is coupled with their attack, using their attack roll result to determine the effects of both the Strike and the spell. This counts as two attacks for their multiple attack penalty, but they don't apply the penalty until after they've completed the Spellstrike. The infusion of spell energy grants their Strike the arcane trait, making it magical.
After Za Minyahil uses Spellstrike, they can’t do so again until they recharge their Spellstrike as a single action, which has the concentrate trait. They also recharges their Spellstrike when they cast a conflux spell that takes at least 1 action to cast; casting a focus spell of another type doesn’t recharge their Spellstrike.
Arcane Cascade ◆ (concentrate, magus, stance)Requirements Za Minyahil has used their most recent action to Cast a Spell or make a Spellstrike. They need to meet this requirement only to enter the stance, not to remain in it. Effect Za Minyahil diverts a portion of the spell’s magical power and keeps it cycling through their body and weapon using specialized forms, breathing, or footwork. While they're in the stance, their melee Strikes deal 1 extra force damage. This damage increases to 2 if they have weapon specialization and 3 if they have greater weapon specialization. Any Strike that benefits from this damage gains the arcane trait, making it magical.
If Za Minyahil's most recent spell before entering the stance was one that can deal damage, the damage from the stance is instead the same type that spell could deal (or one type of their choice if the spell could deal multiple types of damage).

Ancestry Feats and Abilities Flexible Form Za Minyahil's body is as supple as a sapling, capable of bending without breaking. They become trained in Acrobatics, and if they roll a success to Squeeze, they get a critical success instead. If they would automatically become trained in Acrobatics (from his background or class, for example), he instead becomes trained in a skill of their choice.
Enchanting Lily Za Minyahil smells ever so sweet - a delicate, floral scent like the intoxicating fragrance of lilies and the soft scent of lilacs. They are trained in Diplomacy (or another skill if he was already trained in Diplomacy). They also gains a +1 circumstance bonus to checks to Make an Impression if the target can smell their fragrance.
Photosynthesis Za Minyahil gains nourishment from photosynthesis. He typically doesn’t need to pay for food. If they goes without sunlight for 1 week, they begin to starve. They can derive nourishment from specially formulated bottles of alchemical sunlight instead of natural sunlight, but these bottles cost 10 times as much as standard rations (40 sp).

Skill Feats Intimidating Glare You can Demoralize with a mere glare. When you do, Demoralize loses the auditory trait and gains the visual trait, and you don't take a penalty if the creature doesn't understand your language.
Quick Repair For you, the Repair activity loses the exploration trait and takes 1 minute instead of 10 minutes. If you're a master in Crafting, it takes 3 actions. If you're legendary, it takes 1 action.

Za Minyahil is a ghoran who awoke to their current life in Nex's glorious capital, Quantium. Their memories of their past lives steered him towards not just the study of magic, but also the need to protect themself and their fellow ghorans, drawing them down the path of the Magus. However they didn't feel a strong draw towards Nex's military applications of magic or any true desire for power the way so many other Nexians do. They began to ask themself and those around them existential questions about WHY the cyclical lifespan of the ghorans was the way it was, if maybe there were ways they could live on after reseeding, a way for new ghorans to truly be born, instead of the slow decline they currently endured as ghoran lives were snuffed out by accident or murder that couldn't be replaced. While their peers empathized with their questions, they were ones other ghorans had spent whole lifetimes puzzling over, and even some charitable non-ghoran mages had volunteered their expertise to help, but no answers had ever come. It seemed like there was no magic that could improve on Ghorus' design, and Za Minyahil began to grow frustrated.
The seed of an idea began to germinate in their mind: Perhaps the answers needed to save the ghoran people from this fate couldn't be found within Quantium's libraries and arcane laboratories. Maybe the way Nexians practiced magic, the paradigm they'd been learning from, didn't offer solutions to problems of life and renewal, only domination and destruction. They'd heard whisperings from some foreigners in the city, such as the embassy of the Mualijae elves and merchants from Kibwe, of a school for magic older than even Nex's vaunted academies; the Magaambya. Za Minyahil decided to uproot themself and make their way across the Shattered Range, across the Mwangi Jungle, and apply to the school as a student. There, they reasoned, they would learn magics they could never have found in Nex, and maybe, just maybe, they'd find other inquiring minds who would lend their knowledge and power to their own to develop a means for ghorans to truly begin growing as a people. They sent a letter with a caravan, hoping to receive a sponsorship, but months passed and they never heard back. Frustrated, they packed what few possessions they had and began to make the journey anyway, figuring if they presented his case well enough (and possibly offered the school insights into Nexian magical practices as a mutually beneficial exchange) they'd be accepted anyway.
The journey to Nantambu was an arduous, aggravating trek, as misfortune seemed to hound Za Minyahil at every step. The magical textbooks from Nex they'd hoped to use as part of his offering were eaten by insects, the weather was terrible, with heat so strong they felt they would literally wilt, no merchant caravans seemed to be traveling the same way they were, and those few other lone travelers seemed unnerved by a talking flower-person asking them for aid, suspecting some trickster spirit's malice. But Za Minyahil was not a fragile blossom, that would shrivel up and die at the first frost, and they finally arrived at Nantambu, where they received a surprisingly kind and gracious welcome, even before they had said they were a prospective student. The one spot of good fortune was that they had arrived just as the school year was about to begin, so they immediately made for the campus and presented themself. The real work was soon to begin.
