Wizard Schools and the Magus Class


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Just out of curiosity, but has anyone created an archetype of the Magus class where the Magus' spell list has been replaced with the spell list of a particular Wizard school of magic?

Ex. A Magi using just the spells from the Wizard's Evocation school of magic= Warmage.


I know of no such archetypes right now.

I've been toying with the idea of making a magus archetype for each school, with the base magus being the evocation school.

But I fear changing the entire spell list to just be a school of magic wouldn't work so well. There is this archetype: War Warder that gives them all the abjuration spells, but they take a hefty hit due to the loss of spellstrike.


I wrote up a few archeypes along those lines, though I haven't finished them. I have the evocation and necromancy ones done, I'm currently working on the Conjuration-themed one, which swaps out spell recall and heavier armors for teleportation effects and some of the Dimensional Assault feat tree.

I didn't plan to rewrite the spell list for each archetype; I felt like a few bonus spells was enough.
