Hi all,
I have an odd rules question; I was thinking of picking up a couple levels of unbreakable fighter after 6 levels of Magus, and this is what I cannot figure out:
Arcane Pool (Su)
At 1st level, the magus gains a reservoir of mystical arcane energy that he can draw upon to fuel his powers and enhance his weapon. This arcane pool has a number of points equal to 1/2 his magus level (minimum 1) + his Intelligence modifier. The pool refreshes once per day when the magus prepares his spells. At 1st level, a magus can expend 1 point from his arcane pool as a swift action to grant any weapon he is holding a +1 enhancement bonus for 1 minute. For every four levels beyond 1st, the weapon gains another +1 enhancement bonus, to a maximum of +5 at 17th level. These bonuses can be added to the weapon, stacking with existing weapon enhancement to a maximum of +5. Multiple uses of this ability do not stack with themselves.
Clearly, the number of points is based only on my magus level. But the enhancement...is it just magus level, or total character level? Seems like it's just total level, but I wanted to make sure before I went ahead with it.
I was hoping there might be something official somewhere that clarified this, but if not I'd love to hear your opinions and reasoning.

In general, unless there is a notation on how to handle non-class levels, references to levels in class abilities refer to levels in that class (for an example of an exception, see Oracle Curses).
So this most likely refers to Magus level.
