Bonded Wizard
System: Pathfinder | SRD | Type: Subclass (Archetype) of Wizard
Many wizards form an arcane bond with an item, but for some this bond becomes a powerful mystic union.
Class Abilities
Arcane Bond (Ex) (addition)
A bonded wizard must select an item as her arcane bond. The bonded object’s hit point and hardness increase by +1 per level the bonded wizard possesses.
Hidden Bond (Sp) (addition)
A bonded wizard can change the appearance and magical aura of her bonded item at will, as if using disguise self and magic aura , but affecting only the item; for the purpose of disguise self , the item’s item type (such as weapon or ring) is its creature type. This ability replaces Scribe Scroll.
Bonded Force (Su) (addition)
At 5th level, a bonded wizard wearing or wielding her bonded object can channel magical energies through it to create tools, armor, and weapons from pure force. She gains a pool of force points equal to half his wizard level. She can expend 1 point from his force pool as a standard action to create an effect that acts as mage armor (lasting 1 hour), shield (lasting 1 minute), or spiritual weapon (any simple or martial weapon, using her Intelligence modifier to determine its attack bonus rather than Wisdom and lasting 1 round per wizard level). These effects are visible; they take the appearance of armor, shields, or weapons as appropriate, and they always have some visual detail reminiscent of the wizard’s bonded item (such as the pattern of a bonded ring appearing as decoration on a mage armor or shield effect). At 9th level, when the bonded wizard uses bonded force for mage armor , the armor bonus increases by 1; when she uses bonded force for shield , the shield bonus increases by 1; and she gains a +1 enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls when using bonded force for spiritual weapon . The increases for mage armor and shield and the enhancement bonus for spiritual weapon improve by an additional 1 at 13th level and again at 17th level. When she uses bonded force for spiritual weapon , the bonded wizard can choose to reduce this enhancement bonus by 1 to double the spiritual weapon’s critical threat range as the keen weapon property, and for mage armor or shield , she can choose to reduce the armor or shield bonus by 1 to protect herself from critical hits and sneak attacks as the light fortification armor property. Alternatively, the bonded wizard can expend a point from her force pool to create a tool of force, which functions as a masterwork version of a simple tool of her choice that could be reproduced by a traveler’s any-tool ( Ultimate Equipment 323). The tool has the same AC and durability as a spiritual weapon and lasts for 10 minutes. The circumst
Reshape Bond (Sp) (addition)
At 10th level, a bonded wizard can repair her bonded item or turn it into another object once per day as a full-round action. Transforming it functions as polymorph any object , but does not alter the item’s magical properties (including its item slot), while repairing it functions as make whole . The wizard may also sacrifice a prepared spell in order to repair an additional 1d6 points of damage per level of the sacrificed spell. This replaces the wizard’s bonus feat normally gained at 10th level.
