Arcane Exploits

The following are arcane exploits typically for those of the arcanist class.

You can provide components in any form you assume by arcane exploitation.

Benefit While your arcane reservoir has at least 1 point, you gain a supernatural ability mimicking benefit of the Natural Spell feat besides replacing every mention of "using Wild Shape" with "subject to any polymorph effect you originated by feature of any class (effective or otherwise) that governs your arcane reservoir" instead.

You can augment yourself as an arcane weapon.

Prerequisite Improved Unarmed Strike.

Benefit As a free or immediate action, you can expend 1 point from your arcane reservoir to treat your unarmed strikes as magic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction, while every 4 class levels (effective or otherwise) that govern your arcane reservoir gives them a +1 enhancement bonus (stacking with any other enhancement bonus to a maximum of +5). You can use this exploit to give your unarmed strikes any of the following weapon special abilities: agile, bane, defending, flaming, flaming burst, frost, icy burst, ghost touch, guardian, limning, mimetic, nullifying, sapping, seaborne, shock, shocking burst, speed, spell storing, thundering, vicious and wounding. However, you must match the cost of each special ability given with an equal reduction of the enhancement bonus. Duplicate special abilities do not stack. The supernatural effect of using this exploit lasts for a number of minutes equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1) or until it is used again.

You recall your peak physical performance with arcane power.

You bring game to arcane literacy and spellbook logistics.

Benefit You can add your Charisma bonus (if any) to your Intelligence modifier for checks to decipher and learn arcane spells from written sources an extraordinary ability. As a free or immediate action, you can expend 1 point from your arcane reservoir to originate secluded grimoire as a supernatural ability derived from all class levels (effective or otherwise) that govern your arcane reservoir.
