I understand that the Spellblade Magus loses Spellstrike, so using Pool Strike or casting touch spells through the Athame are not possible. However, it is possible to discharge a touch spell though the Athame like it was an unarmed strike or natural attack?
Say you cast Shocking Grasp and miss, then on your next turn, you attack with the Athame. I can't find anything in the rules that would support that, but considering what the Athame is supposed to be and that you can still deliver basic touch attack through it, it would make sense that it should. Mechanically, it would work out to be a worse version of Spellstrike, since it would only be usable through the Athame and it couldn't be done in a single round.
Thoughts?
I don't see any rules text to support it.
I didn't either. Thanks. I'll ask my DM about a home rule for it.
