Spellstrike and double weapon chargeup


Round 1: Magus


So you can use a double weapon one handed

Double weapons have each end enchanted seperately

Spellstrike lets you hold a spell charge in a weapon

can you load up a double weapon with 2 touch spells when you wake up in the morning so they are loaded and ready to go in combat.

Now normally as soon as you cast another spell you lose the spell your currently holding but perhaps having the charge held in a weapon skirts this rule.

even if it dosen't (which I don't think it does) do you think this would be a fair and reasonable application of spellstrike that could be a special rule for the Magus ?

I don't think that would work. As you mentioned, when holding a charge you lose it as soon as you cast another spell. If you want more spells stored, you can still have your weapon enchanted with spell storing.

RAW that probably correct however , as a class ability do you think it would be overpowered for the Magus

basically means spellstrike = free spell storing on your weapon
