Class Features
A Hexcrafter does not gain the Spell Recall and Improved Spell Recall class features.
Spellcasting
A hexcrafter magus adds the following spells to his magus spell list: bestow curse, major curse.
Hex Magus
At 4th level, the hexcrafter magus gains access to a small number of witch hexes. The hexcrafter magus picks one hex from the witch’s hex list. He gains the benefit of or uses that hex as if he were a witch of a level equal to his magus level.
Magus Arcana
At 3rd level, a hexcrafter selects a magus arcana as normal.
After he gains his first witch hex at 4th level, a hexcrafter may choose to select any witch hex he qualifies for in place of a new magus arcana. At 12th level, the hexcrafter may select a hex or major hex in place of a new magus arcana. At 18th level, a hexcrafter can select a hex, major hex, or grand hex in place of a new magus arcana. He cannot select any hex or arcana more than once.
Additional Magus Arcana Options
A hexcrafter may also select from the following magus arcana options.
Accursed Strike (Sp)
A hexcrafter magus who can cast bestow curse, major curse, or any other spell with the curse descriptor can deliver these prepared spells using the spellstrike ability, even if the spells are not touch attack spells.
Akashic Hex (Su)
Prerequisite: Essence pool 1.
A hexcrafter with access to essence can gain this magus arcana to learn a fisherking hex. This hex has the same restrictions as when he selects a witch hex. A hexcrafter may not use this ability to gain the Akashic Patronage hex.
