Bonus Spells: Initial Archetype Power (Level 1):
An Argent Savant has an always active mage hand as the 0 level spell, but the effective strength of the hand is the Argent Savants intelligence and its size is small and thus might be able to lift items with a higher weight than 5 pounds.

The argent savant may attack with this mage hand using the normal rules for fighting with a one handed weapon in melee. Only one hand at a time can be used that way.
Lesser Archetype Power (Level 2):
Once per turn as a swift action when casting a force spell, the Argent Savant may choose a specific direction. When an any opponent fails a fortitude save the Argent Savant pushes the opponent by 1.5m per spell level in the specified direction. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Lesser Archetype Power (Level 2):
A chronomancer may cast a spell with perfect timing to separate the casting from time where it takes effect. When casting a spell with perfect timing, the normal cast action is only priming the spell. It stays inactive for now.

Any spell with perfect timing receives the time descriptor. When a spell with perfect timing is activated after the chronomancers next turn, it receives a +2 bonus to CL and DC during the encounter when it is placed.

A Geomancer gains the improved unarmed strike feat, average base attack bonus and has good fortitude saves.

Choose one spell with earth descriptor for each spell level you can cast, the spell does not expire while you are conscious. Moderate Archetype Power (Level 4):
When a Geomancer takes damage, as an immediate action they may sacrifice spell slots to reduce the damage taken from this instance. The damage is reduced by 10 x the total sacrificed spell level, you may sacrifice up to one spell per spell level. When a Geomancer does not have any spell slots left, the damage is halved instead.
Greater Archetype Power (Level 6):
Whenever the Geomancer expends a spell slot, they can choose to create a devastating aftershock, during their next turn: When you decide to create an aftershock, count the number of expended spells until the aftershock is triggered and the counter resets.

The aftershock can be triggered by the geomancer during their next turn, otherwise takes place automatically at the end of their next turn.
When the geomancer does a slam attack or casts an earth spell the aftershock bursts, dealing 1d6 points of damage per sacrificed spell level to everyone within 3m of the Geomancer and everyone within 3m of active geomancer earth spells. No target can be affected twice and creatures under the effect of earth spells can be excluded. A reflex save halves the damage. The aftershock ability counts as a 3rd level spell-like ability and allows spell resistance.
