Back in pathfinder 1e, I was a huge fan of bloodrager and eldritch scion—basically, two takes on frontline martials with sorcerous ancestry. Now, Paizo technically gave us Bloodrager in WoI, but it doesn't quite scratch the same itch. Ergo, here's my own attempt at making up for it

This ended up turning into it's own little homebrewing exercise on how I'd personally address the usual magus critiques (e.g., action economy, arcane cascade, etc). I'm not saying I have an end-all answer, but I'm still pretty happy with my attempt:

1. Made arcane cascade into something closer to the sorcerer's blood magic, which comes online automatically if you cast a focus spell
2. More spammable conflux spells that don't eat into your MAP
3. Roles in combat that are not Spellstrike

Now, is it any good? No clue lol, so I'd really appreciate some eyes on my draft

Namely, I'd appreciate thoughts on whether or not (1) these mechanics make sense, (2) if anything's over- or undertuned, and (3) if I'm missing any major considerations
