'''Telekinetic Strength'''
''Magehand''

When using magehand, you can lift more weight. You can lift Medium and Heavy Loads, but doing so reduces the speed at which you can move objects (medium = 2/3, and Heavy = 1/3).

This allows you to act when Stunned, Paralyzed, at Strength or Dexterity of 0 or similar situation where you cannot move but able to take mental action. This does not apply to status caused by an external force holding you, simply when you lack agency to do it yourself. While telekinetically controlling yourself you count as having a Strength or Dexterity score equal to it normal score, or 10, whichever is lower.

If you have Telekinetic Durability, use your Wisdom Score as your Constitution Score for all purposes while using Telekinetic Puppet. You still die when your Constitution Score becomes 0, but you do not take penalties for it decreasing while using Telekinetic Puppet.

'''Telekinetic Combat'''
''Magehand''

While mystically focused, you may make attacks with weapons (or improvised weapons) telekinetically at range, attacking as a standard action or full attack action as normal. When doing so, use your Caster level as your base attack bonus. You can attack directly with telekinetic power, treat this as attacking with an unarmed strike (or natural/feral strike weapon if you possess one). You may perform combat maneuvers as per the ''telekinesis'' spell, except you use Charisma for Strength and Intelligence for Dexterity. 

You may expend your Mystic focus to use the Violent Thrust version of [[SRD:Telekinesis|''telekinesis'']], except it is uncapped by caster level, you use your caster level as your base attack bonus, and you add your magehand Heavy Load to the amount of weight you can move.

'''Improved Telekinesis'''
''must know and be able to cast telekinesis, Magehand and/or Unseen Servant''

The amount of weight and speed at which you can move things with the Sustained Force and Volatile Thrust versions of ''telekinesis'', magehand, or unseen servant doubles. The base range of magehand and unseen servant improves to medium (100ft +10/lv).

If you have Unseen Servant, a Servant may maintain concentration on ''telekinesis'' for you and gain a +4 bonus to caster level when casting ''telekinesis'' and similar spells. You may expend your mystic focus to double the bonus to ''telekinesis' caster level to +8.

If you have Magehand, you can multi-task, taking a standard action, to perform two telekinesis based actions, provided they each would normally take a standard action or less to perform, for example you could hold up a bridge, while using violent thrust to push an enemy off it, with a single standard action. In order to multi-task you must make a Concentration check with a DC equal to 15 + 5 x the number of effects. You may perform 1 + (Highest Spell grade /2 (min. 1)) actions with a standard action this way. 

'''Greater Telekinesis'''
''Improved Telekinesis''

When you cast ''telekinesis'', you can maintain concentration on it as a swift action and it does not end if you use the violent thrust ability. You can choose to use a new maneuver each round. There is no maximum caster level cap.

'''Eldritch Combat Flurry'''
''Gish, spellgrade 3, Eldritch Combat and/or Spellstrike''

'''Spellstrike'''
''Gish, spellgrade 0''

You can use a standard action to cast any spell that requires an attack roll you know and deliver the spell through your weapon with a melee attack. Casting a spell in this manner does not provoke attacks of opportunity. The spell must have a casting time of 1 standard action or less. If the melee attack is successful, the attack deals damage normally; then the effect of the spell is resolved. 

'''Flurry of Spellstrikes'''
''Gish (only), spellgrade 4, Eldritch Combat Flurry''

When you use Spellstrike, every target you hit with an attack is affected by your Spellstrike spell.

'''Arcane Archery'''
''Gish, spellgrade 2, Spellstrike''

You can use Spellstrike with ranged weapons. When using Spellstrike with a ranged weapon, the spell uses the weapon's range rather than the spell's range, thus you can attach spells that normally have a range of "You". This does not function with Flurry of Spellstrikes; Thus you can only imbue one weapon/projectile at a time like this. 

'''Arcane Artillery'''
''Gish, spellgrade 2, Point Blank Blast, Arcane Archery''

When using Arcane Archery, you may elect to attach an area of effect spell (Such as ''Fireball'', ''Fog Cloud'' or ''Darkness'') onto the weapon or projectile; The spell uses the weapon's range rather than the spell's range, thus you can attach spells that normally have a range of "You". This does not function with Flurry of Spellstrikes; Thus you can only imbue one weapon/projectile at a time like this. However, if you successfully hit a target with the weapon/projectile, and the spell attached allows a Reflex save for half damage, the target struck by your attack is allowed no save, since the blast is more or less originating from the sharp object that just embedded itself somewhere in their flesh and if they drop to the floor/duck behind something/etc., the weapon/projectile is going to move with them. 

'''Point Blank Blast'''
''Gish or Warmage, spellgrade 0''

You gain [[Point Blank Blast (3.5e Feat)|Point Blank Blast]] as a bonus feat. Spells with a range of close, touch, or less than 60ft gain a +2 bonus on their DC, attack roll, and checks to penetrate SR.

'''Volley of Spellstrikes'''
''Gish (only), spellgrade 4, Flurry of Spellstrikes, Arcane Archery''

'''Spellstrike Bombardment'''
''Gish (only), spellgrade 5, Flurry of Spellstrikes, Volley of Spellstrikes, Arcane Artillery''

When using Arcane Artillery, you may combine Flurry of Spellstrikes with it. However, the spell effect cannot overlap or interact with any targets of other spells you cast in the round, you must choose different targets or areas. For example, you can't cast ''fireball'' with Spellstrike Bombardment and have the areas overlap or affect the same creature.

'''Improved Eldritch Combat Flurry'''
''Improved Eldritch Combat, Gish, spellgrade 5''

When using Eldritch Combat as a full round action, you may cast either 2 spells with a casting time of a standard action or less, or spell with a casting time of 1 full round action or less. Using this sorcery trait increases the mana cost of all spells involved by 3.

By expending your mystical focus, you may use this sorcery trait as a standard action. Doing so increases the mana costs of all spells involved by an additional 2, for a total increase of +5 mana.

'''Gish Weapon Training'''
''Gish or Warmage, spellgrade 1''

Any magic weapon you wield is a Gish weapon and you gain special benefits to using your Gish weapon. Your gish weapon counts as a Focus for any spell whose Material components cost less than 1/20 the gish weapon's cost, and it counts as the focus component for any spell whose Focus component costs less than the gish weapon. A gish weapon grants its enhancement bonus not just to its attack and damage rolls, but also to ranged and melee touch attacks, save DCs, spell penetration check, as well as damage/healing rolls of spells you cast while wielding it.

Despite being called a gish "weapon", a gish weapon need not be a weapon at all. It may be a shield or piece/suit of armor.

'''Enchanted Arms (Least)'''
''Gish or Warmage, spellgrade 1''

While mystically focused, any weapon, shield, or armor you wield or wear gains an enhancement bonus equal to 1 + 1/4 your caster level for as long as you wield/wear it and for 1 round after. You may expend your mystic focus to add +5 to your attack rolls or AC for 1 round.

'''Manifest Weapon'''
''Gish, spellgrade 0''

You create a weapon of pure magical energy in your hand, it can take the form of any weapon or shield you are proficient with. You can summon or dismiss the blade with the same kind of actions required to draw a weapon. If you release your hold on the manifested weapon it immediately dissipates and you need to draw it again unless you have thrown the weapon, in which case the weapon dissipates after the attack is resolved. Projectile weapons produce magical ammunition which dissipates after an attack is resolved, but still require the normal actions to reload. 

Your Manifested weapon is a force-effect and thus affects incorporeal creatures normally. The Manifested Weapon has an enhancement bonus equal to 1/4 your caster level.


If you have the two-weapon fighting feat you may manifest two weapons instead of one.

If you have the shield bash feat you may manifest a weapon and a shield.

Your weapons gain the flaming property as a free bonus weapon special ability. Any Fire Magic ability that applies to [fire] spells also applies to equipment special abilities that relate to [fire].

'''Flame Knight'''
''Gish (only), Fire Mage, Enchanted Arms (Lesser), Flame Squire''

When choosing equipment special abilities with Enchanted Arms (Lesser, Moderate, Greater, Greatest), abilities related to [fire] are treated as having an enhancement bonus value one lower. For example a [[Energy Forged (3.5e Equipment)|Fire Forged]] weapon would normally be a +2 weapon ability, but is now a +1 weapon ability. +1 Equipment abilities are now +1/2 abilities and thus you may have 2 for the price of 1.
