    This document presents the Oath of the Swordmage, a paladin oath that allows wielding both magic and melee weapons. The tenets focus on maintaining control of one's emotions and seeing combat as a graceful dance. Swordmages gain oath spells and can add their Charisma modifier to AC while wearing medium armor. Their channel divinity options include gaining insight on others' spellcasting or empowering a weapon with magic for 10 minutes. Later abilities allow teleporting during combat and stepping between allied spell auras. The oath culminates in the ability to briefly cast any first level spell and treat all paladin spells as prepared.

    agic is a tool, just the same as a blade,
    hammer, or spear. Like swordplay, it is
    not the magic itself that is dangerous,
    but rather those who wield it to do the
    unspeakable. Of course, these tools can
    be used equally effectively against
    those that would abuse their power.
    This is the central philosophy of the Swordmage: a warrior
    committed to the obstruction of those that would misuse the
    arcane. Unlike most paladins, Swordmages are able to
    harness both arcane and divine sources of magic through the
    use of their weaponry in their attempts to banish evil and
    bring balance to The Weave.

    Tenets of the Swordmage


    The tenets of the Oath of the Swordmage are central not only
    to their philosophy, but also to their ability to weave arcane
    magic through the practice of their weaponry. Only by
    embracing both are they able to fully commit to these ideals
    and become a true Swordmage.

    Poise in the face of danger. A Swordmage should never lose


    control of their emotions, for a lack of control leads to the
    instability of magic.
    Grace in the fury of battle. Combat is a dance, and both magic
    and swordsmanship are best combined through fluid, graceful
    movements rather than through brute force.
    Strength in the flow of magic. Embrace the arcane in order to
    fight it. Only be engaging in all of your abilities will the
    Swordmage find their true power.
    Ruin in the folly of greed. The current of the Weave is too
    strong for any one person to control its full force. Defeat those
    who would misuse this power. Swordmage Spells
