Additionally, any magus's class feature or spell from the magus spell list that normally uses a calculation based on Intelligence is instead based on Charisma for an eldritch scion. For example, an eldritch scion with the arcane accuracy magus arcana grants himself an insight bonus on attacks equal to his Charisma bonus, not his Intelligence bonus. This has no effect on the eldritch scion's skills or skill points. This ability replaces arcane pool, and abilities that modify arcane pool also modify eldritch pool. Spell Combat (Ex): At 1st level, a magus learns to cast spells and wield his weapons at the same time. This functions much like two-weapon fighting, but the off-hand weapon is a spell that is being cast. To use this ability, the magus must have one hand free (even if the spell being cast does not have somatic components), while wielding a light or one-handed melee weapon in the other hand. As a full-round action, he can make all of his attacks with his melee weapon at a –2 penalty and can also cast any spell from the magus spell list with a casting time of 1 standard action (any attack roll made as part of this spell also takes this penalty). If he casts this spell defensively, he can decide to take an additional penalty on his attack rolls, up to his Intelligence bonus, and add the same amount as a circumstance bonus on his concentration check. If the check fails, the spell is wasted, but the attacks still take the penalty. A magus can choose to cast the spell first or make the weapon attacks first, but if he has more than one attack, he cannot cast the spell between weapon attacks. An eldritch scion can only use spell combat while in a state of mystic focus (see eldritch pool, above). At 8th level, an eldritch scion can use spell combat at any time. This ability alters spell combat. Spellstrike (Su): At 2nd level, whenever a magus casts a spell with a range of “touch” from the magus spell list, he can deliver the spell through any weapon he is wielding as part of a melee attack. Instead of the free melee touch attack normally allowed to deliver the spell, a magus can make one free melee attack with his weapon (at his highest base attack bonus) as part of casting this spell. If successful, this melee attack deals its normal damage as well as the effects of the spell. If the magus makes this attack in concert with spell combat, this melee attack takes all the penalties accrued by spell combat melee attacks. This attack uses the weapon’s critical range (20, 19–20, or 18–20 and modified by the keen weapon property or similar effects), but the spell effect only deals ×2 damage on a successful critical hit, while the weapon damage uses its own critical modifier. Bloodline Powers: While bloodraging, you gain the abilities and immunities of some aberrations, but show signs of your tainted heritage. Magus Arcana - Spell Shield (Su) Benefit: The magus can expend a point from his arcane pool as an immediate action to grant himself a shield bonus to AC equal to his Intelligence bonus until the end of his next turn.

Background:

Zurka was born into one of the many clans serving one of the several more notable umbral dragon lords in the Shadow Plane. His early childhood was fairly typical, though marred by his strange markings on his skin that resisted any attempts to disguise them, even with magical means. As he was remarkably talented, he was selected to partake in the newly discovered training in the magus arts as part of a strike force being assembled by his clan in service of their dragon lord to strike against his enemies. At first his training proceeded normally in the basics of swordsmanship and the initial spell knowledge. His training started to go poorly as he was unable to grasp the synergy of melding the two forms together. Only after he gave himself into his primal urges was he able to call upon his magical spells. As his training progressed, the markings on his body started to expand and change. When his instructors learned of this, they sequestered him away and proceeded to...test him further. It took some time (a torturous time for Zurka but they proved to be traces of the Old Ones touch. Fearing his instability, yet unwilling to let his talents go to waste, he was sent to the Material plane to explore the mysterious ruins known as the Emerald Spire. The orders of your Dragon Lord are simple : explore the Emerald Spire, find everything loot worthy, and find a way to bring them back to the Plane of Shadow. And you know you’d better not fail… While he was told to discover any lost or forgotten lore, the actual reason (which has been kept from him) was so he would either prove to be an asset or be disposed of without effort.
