### Spells per Day / Spells Known

At the indicated levels, a Magi gains new spells per day as if they had also gained a level in a spellcasting class to which they belonged before taking the prestige class. She does not, however, gain other benefits a character of that class would have gained, except for additional spells per day, spells known (if she is a spontaneous spellcaster), and an increased effective level of spellcasting.

### Artifact Disguise:

At 1st level the Magi gains the ability to polymorph into a piece of weapon or armor at will; alongside with all of their carries and worn possessions. The Magi gains a hardness equal to 2x their Magi level; and retains their normal amount of hit points while in this form. The Magi cannot speak, nor move during this transformation, but may take purely mental actions for the duration of the effect. If the Magi falls below Zero hit points the Polymorph effect immediately ends. This effect otherwise has no fixed duration, but can be dispelled at will.

In addition, the Magi gains *Telepathy (Su)* while in this form. The range of this Telepathy begins at 30ft, and increases by 5ft per Magi level; to a Maximum of 80ft at Magi level 10th.

### Mental Caster:

At 1st level the Magi can substitute verbal and somatic components for mental and emotional components while transformed into a piece of weaponry or armor.

### Magical Artifact:

At 3rd level the Magi can emulate the effects of a magical item with their transformation. They become a magical piece weapon or armor while polymorphed. This enchantment bonus provides a +1 for every two Hit Dice the Magi possesses. This bonus can take the form of either a flat increase, or any magical weapon property, so long as their chosen type of weapon or armor could normally accept the magical property / properties.

### Sneaky Spellcaster:

At 3rd level the Magi gains the effects of a Nondetection spell passively while in the form of a weapon or armor.

### Helpful:

At 5th level the Magi gains the ability to target allies actively wielding them with personal range spells. Spells transferred in this manner cease to function if the item becomes unequipped from the wielder; even momentarily.

### Restless:

At 7th level the Magi can survive indefinitely without sleep, food, or water, though they must still rest to regain spells. In addition; if the Magi is a Spontaneous caster; they gain *Keep Watch* as a 1st level spell known. If they are a Prepared Caster; they Gain they ability to prepare Keep Watch as a 1st level spell.

### Silent Support (SLA):

At 9th level, the Magi may choose one of the following 1st level spells. This choice cannot be changed once selected without retraining. The Magi provides the benefit(s) of their chosen spell to any creature actively equipping / wearing them once selected. The spell's duration is indefinite; though the benefit(s) immediately end if the Magi is no longer actively worn or equipped as a weapon / armor. The Magi can also suppress this effect at will.

### Edward’s Lucky Shield:

At 10th level the Magi can grant the ability for their wielder to reroll 1d20, once per hour; provided the Magi chooses to provide the ally their reroll before learning the result of the check.
