Song Magi

The song magi is a magi archetype that instead of harnessing the elements of nature, favor the arts of performance.

Diminished Spellcasting
A song magi gains one fewer spell of each level than normal. If this reduces the number to 0, he may cast spells of that level only if they are domain spells or if her Charisma allows bonus spells of that level.

Combat Mastery
Song Magi have sacrificed the study of mana and magic to attain mastery of the martial arts instead. This ability allows the magi to wear light armor without affecting their ability to cast spells.

at 10th level they can use medium armor.

This ability also grants them proficiency with all simple and martial weapons but not shields.

A magi of dance, act, oratory or comedy may count their levels as fighter levels equal to their magi level -4 for the purposes of attaining combat feats.

This ability replaces replaces Mana Mastery

Artist
At first level, the song magi may select a performance skill. this skill becomes a class skill for the song magi.

High Artistry
Starting at 4th level the song magi picks a second performance type, this performance becomes a class skill and the magi may learn one of the artes offered by the performance type chosen, or by the performance type chosen for the Artist feature from the list below. Every 4 levels thereafter the magi can learn a new high artistry ability. These abilities incur a mana cost when used rather than a limit per day.

At 10th level, the song magi may pick a third performance type. Selecting a performance type grants the associated performance skill as a class skill.

Starting at 12th level, the magi automatically gains the free ability of their initial performance selection, they need not select it with their 12th level arte choice. They do not, however, gain the free ability of their arte chosen at 10th level.

Also, at 4th, 12, and 20th the song magi may select a bonus feat. They need not meet the BAB requirements for combat feats.

Magi of Dance, Act, Comedy, and Oratory may choose a combat feat. Magi of Keyboard, Percussion, String, Wind and Song may choose a bonus feat from the bonus feat list of the wizard class.

This ability replaces high magic.

Affinity Field
Starting at 6th level, the magi may project an aura that protects the magi from damage based on their chosen performance type, this field can be activated as a standard action. The field absorbs incoming damage similar to a stoneskin spell of a specific damage type based on the performance type chosen at activation. All allies within range take reduced damage from the listed damage type equal to 1/2 of the magi's level up to a total cumulative amount of damage of 25 + 20 per magi level per day. This damage reduction is calculated before each individual allies own Damage Reduction and Energy Resistances. This effect can be dismissed as a free action, and reactivated with a different available performance type chosen, but only if it is one of the performances chosen at 4th and 10th level.

When it is reactivated the total damage it has absorbed does not reset until the magi has rested enough to restore their daily spells and abilities.

Incoming damage of more than one type (such as claws bludgeoning/piercing damage type) is absorbed normally as long as the chosen performance covers at least one of the damage types listed by the attack, however abilities that incorporate divine, holy or unholy damage (such as flame strike or hellfire or a holy/unholy weapon) are treated as described in their own descriptions.

This ability alters affinity field.
