Mindblade Magus: Dual Weapons

[Keylac]

This seemed so odd, I thought I'd check to see if it was intentional, or maybe a misprint?

Spoiler:

Dual Weapons (Su): At 7th level, a mindblade can maintain two psychic weapons at a time or a psychic double weapon, though each weapon (or each end of a double weapon) has an enhancement bonus 1 lower than normal. Starting at 12th level, each of the two psychic weapons (or each end of a double weapon) instead has an enhancement bonus 2 lower than normal. When using two-weapon fighting with two psychic weapons or a psychic double weapon, the mindblade can use her spell combat ability as though she had a hand free. This ability replaces medium armor.

Is this accurate, and Dual Weapons is supposed to get worse as you level?

It's supposed to not grow as fast as if you were wielding a single mind blade, because you are the only magus ever that can combine two weapon fighting and spell combat.

It's not actually getting worse, because "normal" is getting better. At 7th level you normally have a +3 bonus with one weapon so it is +2 with two weapons. At 9th level you increase to +4 for one and +3 for two. At 12th level you get + 5 for one and you remain at +3 for two. So it never gets worse; it just levels off.

Still sucks. it should be switched. I can see having two weapons dimineshes the over all bonus, but it shouldn't stall out. Which is what it does. You are basically being punished for using your class ability.

It isn't being punished for using two weapon fighting, it is maintaining some benefit for one weapon fighting - otherwise two weapon fighting would seem mandatory.
The two weapon fighting is still doing pretty well out of this.
