I would like to create an Elf Magus and combine the Spell Dance and Blade Bound Magus archetypes.
The rules on multiple class archetypes state: A character can take more than one archetype and garner additional alternate class features, but none of the alternate class features can replace or alter the same class feature from the base class as another alternate class feature.
The Spell Dancer changes the arcane pool ability to enhance weapons to one that enhances movement and AC vs. AoO.
The Blade Bound archetype also changes arcane pool but only with regards to the rate at which the character gaines arcane pool points.
So, RAW they alter the same ability but not in ways that overlap with each other.
Is there an official ruling on whether this combination is legal or can someone help by providing one?
By RAW its probably not, but similar to cross blooded/wild blooded its probably something you could get by in a home game very easily, unless the GM is really against it.
I should also note the blade bound is big on enhancing your blade as a feature which the spell dancer explicitly removes.
Blade Dancer is also big on mobility, but magus full attack with spell combat/spellstrike as their MO.
