This 7th level spell gives the caster a 1 action produce flame spell that is essentially hieghtened 1 level higher than normal, meaning that the magus can cast a one action cantrip by level 13, and exploit true strike without even being hasted or cast a spell, move and attack for 2 actions instead of 3.
Could we get more battle form spell like this with different cantrip attack options in the Secrets of magic book?
I think we'll see a few more one action spells in the book for the Magus to play with. Clearly this give him a nice edge.
Keep in mind that it makes the 1-action Produce Flame an innate spell, so it uses Charisma to-hit (afaik), which means landing it is going to be even harder than normal, possibly a lot.
That might be true, but this playtest time might be the time to raise a stink about whether gaining innate spells through another spell shouldn't operate off of the same proficiency and attributes as the orginal spell. That feels like a strong Errata or FAQ possibility.
It is also so good for the magus specifically at this point (with the way that striking spell works) that if you keep it within 2 of your INT it is still worthwhile.
that could be a super cool build!
