Can a Magus enchant ammunition with Arcane Pool?

Is it possible for a magus to enchant a bundle of ammunition?

Obviously, only the magus can use the ammunition.

I originally meant to ask this in regards to a magus using arcane pool on a deck of cards using the Deadly Dealer feat. However, that does work RAW for that specific case because Deadly Dealer specifically says the deck, as a whole, is a ranged weapon with 54 pieces of ammunition. Arcane pool can enchant a ranged weapon. Therefore, arcane pool can enchant a deck of cards if the magus has the Deadly Dealer feat.

As for, say, a bundle of shuriken, I'm not sure.

A bundle of shurikens isn't one weapons so you can't enchant several of them at the same time.


Are you making Gambit?


By RAW, I believe you could only enhance one piece of ammunition at a time. That said, I think it could make an interesting archetype. :)


if you're using a projectile weapon, bow/crossbow/sling, you can enchant it with the arcane pool, which will pass it to the ammo...I just realized this and it really makes me want to make a ranged magus.

if the deck is considered a weapon, with the cards being classed as ammunition, then it works there as well :)
