eldritch archer

[Gwaedh]

Hello,
I'm planning to run a magus character with the eldritch archer archetype. I'm wondering if anyone can think of a way to gain access to the gravity bow spell. I mean aside from use magic device and a wand.

I also need to look into the arcane bond option. I'd love to get a familiar (using an arcana) but the archetype sets my bow as my arcane bond. Can I still use the arcana to gain a bond to a familiar? or at they exclusive?

thanks

Gravity Bow is a 1st level Wizard spell so the simplest way for a Magus to get it is the Spell Blending Arcana.

Until recently I believed that you could not have both a Bonded Object and a Familiar at the same time, but I've been made aware that this is not a general rule but rather a restriction applied only when specific methods of gaining such bonds mention it. I don't see any such language in the Eldritch Archer's Ranged Weapon Bond or the Familiar Magus Arcana, so I guess it is ok.

Be a Samsarran with the "Mystic Past Life" alternate race feature? Then you can just add it to your spell list.

What they said :) Also, there are certain items you can use.
