Arcanist Question

[dragonfly7022003]

If you spend one point from your Arcane pool to use Potent Magic dose it just increase the DC or the spell level or both?

Potent Magic (Su): Whenever the arcanist expends 1 point
from her arcane reservoir to increase the caster level of a
spell, the caster level increases by 2 instead of 1. Whenever
she expends 1 point from her arcane reservoir to increase
a spell’s DC, it increases by 2 instead of 1.

Example 8th level Arcanist cast magic missile, Normally it would be 4 missiles. But spending a Arcane Point can increase the level to 10th thus giving him 5 magic missiles?

Is this correct?

[Zaister]

That is correct.

Note: I have flagged your post for being in the wrong forum. This should probably go in the Rules Question forum.

To be clear, you can only use the ability once per spell and it only affects the DC or the caster level, not both at the same time. The example you provided is accurate.
