There are those who regularly seek to mix martial prowess and mastery of the Warp. These people, through countless eons of continued experimentation and practice, sought to create a school of fighting unlike any other. Some would channel it through weaponry, others through their own bodies, but the overall effect was the same - the Eldritch Advent sword school had been created.
The favored skill of Eldritch Advent is Arcana, for no other school possesses such mastery of the arcane as the practitioners of this. Indeed, for some, this school is the next in their mastery of the Warp - for them, those chaotic energies are naught but a natural extension of their own being, channeling it through themselves or their weaponry.
Level 1: Apprentice
-Weapon (Ordinary): Use Ordinary weapons with your martial maneuvers.
-Action (Focus Power): Use Focus Power tests in martial maneuvers. Any advantages or restrictions that would apply to the special attack can be applied to the spell cast instead, if it has the Attack and Touch keywords.
Level 2: Initiate
(-2)Warp Resonance: You may only use this attack if you have cast a spell since the start of your last turn.
(2)Elemental Blade: Apply this only to a Focus Power action. You can deliver Touch spells using a weapon as part of this attack, Testing the appropriate weapon skill and Level rather than Brawl and level. If the spell has a casting time of one half action or more, you may choose to add a standard attack using the same weapon to the spell.
Level 3: Journeyman
(-1)Skill (Arcana): As part of this attack, make an Arcana test against the target's Static Defense. If it fails, the attack fails.
(1*)Warp Aegis: Gain 1 Aura until your next turn for every point of this advantage.
Level 4: Master
-Mastery (Controlled Release): You can delay the attack and effect of a Touch or Ranged Touch spell for a number of rounds up to your ranks in the spell's school. If you do not make the attack in this time, the spell is lost.
(3)Chaos Blade: The attack is treated as if it were Magic, applying the target's Aura instead of Armor.
Level 5: Grandmaster
(5)Armageddon Blade: If this attack hits, the target is subjected to Perils of the Warp.
