Conduits possess a rare exceptional gift that is only shared by a few disparate creatures from the far-flung planes of existence, the ability to absorb magic. With this power, they are able to wield manifested magic, or even channel it into martial prowess while dispelling whatever magic their enemies might bring to bear upon them. They use terrifying counters that force energies directed at them, back towards their originators.
The conduit is an adaptable adventurer able to fulfill a number of different roles. Given his myriad array of abilities, a conduit might be a physical adept, a ranged powerhouse, a fast moving scout, or an extremely sly operator. He does require magic to function properly and, in low-fantasy settings, a conduit might find oneself at a great disadvantage compared to its counterparts.

As both a player and as a DM, the conduit truly makes me giddy.
As a DM, it is the perfect class to surprise players with. Nobody expects what this class is capable of. Not to say that it isn't balanced though. It just has certain strengths that I've never seen in another class.
As a player, it definitely would feel empowering to get Curse casted upon you, and instead get stronger! Well written rules, and very well balanced.
I feel that the class's only flaw is that in a campaign with minimal magic, the conduit loses access to a lot of what makes it cool. Definitely not a problem with certain paizo adventure paths, but mileage may vary.
Conduits are more like Bishop from the X-Men but specifically for magic, and they can do far more with spells they've absorbed than fire them back as mystical bolts (though to be fair, that is a good time anyway).
Indeed! That is a feather in my cap, sir. Thank you for taking the time to review it! :D
Thank you for taking the time to write the class! I think I, the player, am the clear winner when it comes to this release. Least I could do was give you my thoughts.
Just so you know, when I summarized the Conduit to my buddy, he decided it was one of the coolest things ever too.
