Phantasmal Mage is an Arcanist archetype in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.

The strong bond with fairies determines a natural predisposition of gnomes to the magic of the First World. By sacrificing time to learn the modern arcanist techniques, Phantom Mages become true masters of metamagic when it comes to the school of illusion.

Phantasmal Mage Abilities

Greater Exploits

At 11th level and every 2 levels thereafter, an arcanist can choose one of the greater exploits in place of an arcanist exploit.

Arcanist Proficiencies

Arcanists are proficient with all simple weapons. They are not proficient with any type of armor or shield. Armor interferes with an arcanist's gestures, which can cause her spells with somatic components to fail.

Cantrips

Arcanists can cast an unlimited number of cantrips, or 0-level spells. These spells are cast like any other spell, but they do not consume spell slots.

Arcane Metamagic

A phantasmal mage loses an ability to increase caster level of the next spell using her arcane reservoir but instead gains a number of powerful metamagic abilities at 5th, 11th and 17th levels.
At 5th level the phantasmal mage can spend 1 point from her arcane reservoir as a free action to make next arcanist illusion spell she casts in 2 rounds Extended, Reach or Selective, as per using the corresponding metamagic feat.
At 11th level the phantasmal mage can spend 2 points from her arcane reservoir as a free action to make next arcanist illusion spell she casts in 2 rounds Persistent or Empowered, as per using the corresponding metamagic feat.
At 17th level the phantasmal mage can spend 3 points from her arcane reservoir as a free action to make next arcanist illusion spell she casts in 2 rounds Maximized or 4 points to make it Quickened, as per using the corresponding metamagic feat.

Arcanist Exploits

By bending and sometimes even breaking the rules of magic, the Brown-fur Transmuter learns to exploit gaps and exceptions in the laws of magic. Some of these exploits allow her to break down various forms of magic, adding their essence to her arcane reservoir. At 1st level and every 2 levels thereafter, the Brown-fur Transmuter learns a new arcane exploit. An Brown-fur Transmuter exploit cannot be selected more than once. Once an Brown-fur Transmuter exploit has been selected, it cannot be changed. Most Brown-fur Transmuter exploits require the Brown-fur Transmuter to expend points from her arcane reservoir to function. Unless otherwise noted, the saving throw DC for an Brown-fur Transmuter exploit is equal to 10 + 1/2 the Brown-fur Transmuter's level + the Brown-fur Transmuter's Charisma modifier.

Arcane Reservoir

An arcanist has an innate pool of magical energy that she can draw upon to fuel her arcanist exploits and enhance her spells. The arcanist's arcane reservoir can hold a maximum amount of magical energy equal to 3 + the arcanist's level. Each day, when preparing spells, the arcanist's arcane reservoir fills with raw magical energy, gaining a number of points equal to 3 + 1/2 her arcanist level. Any points she had from the previous day are lost. She can also regain these points through the consume spells class feature and some arcanist exploits. The arcane reservoir can never hold more points than the maximum amount noted above; points gained in excess of this total are lost.
Points from the arcanist reservoir are used to fuel many of the arcanist's powers. In addition, the arcanist can expend 1 point from her arcane reservoir as a free action whenever she casts an arcanist spell. If she does, she can choose to increase the caster level by 1 or increase the spell's DC by 1. She can expend no more than 1 point from her reservoir on a given spell in this way.

Consume Spells

At 1st level, an arcanist can expend an available arcanist spell slot as a move action, making it unavailable for the rest of the day, just as if she had used it to cast a spell. She can use this ability a number of times per day equal to her Charisma modifier (minimum 1). Doing this adds a number of points to her arcane reservoir equal to the level of the spell slot consumed. She cannot consume cantrips (0 level spells) in this way. Points gained in excess of the reservoir's maximum are lost.
