All of the following are class features of the Argent Battle Mage.
'''{{Anchor|Spells per Day/Spells Known}}:''' At each level after 1st, an Argent Battle Mage gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if she had also gained a level in an arcane spellcasting class to which she belonged before adding the prestige class level. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (such as the bonus feat sometimes gained by a wizard). If she had more than one arcane spellcasting class before becoming an argent savantArgent Battle Mage, she must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day and spells known.
'''{{Anchor|Bonus Spells}}:''' An argent battlemage is able to cast one additional spell with the force descriptor per day at each spell level. This feature functions in conjunction with any bonus spells tied to her spellcasting Ability Modifiers.
'''{{Anchor|Force Specialization:}} {{Ex}}:''' An Argent Battle Mage gains a +2 competence bonus on attack rolls made with her force spells. She also adds a +1 bonus to each die of damage dealt by spells she casts with the force descriptor. If the force spell doesn’t deal damage expressed by dice, she adds only a +1 bonus to the total damage dealt. For example, a magic missile cast by a 9th-level wizardWizard/1st-level argent savant Argent Battle Mage deals 1d4+2 points of damage per missile. A 9th-level wizardWizard/4th-level argent savant Argent Battle Mage deals 4d6+7 points of force damage with her Mordenkainen’s sword spell.
'''{{Anchor|Energy Thesis}} {{Ex}}:''' Beginning at first level the Argent Battle Mage discovers that it is easier to manipulate the energies of their force spells. Whenever an Argent Battle Mage casts a spell with the force descriptor they may add any metamagic they know to that spell without increasing the spell’s casting time. Also, whenever an Argent Battle Mage applies a metamagic feat to a force spell, the total adjustment to the spell’s level is reduced by 1. This increases to a reduction of 2 at level 5, and finally 3 at level 10. This ability cannot reduce the total adjustment below 0.
'''''{{Anchor|Arcane Reflex}}'' {{Sp}}:'''An Starting at 2nd level, an Argent battle mage hones his skills until they become almost reflexive in speed and nature. At first level the mage Battle Mage gains exceptional awareness of her surroundings by being vigilant of the ability to cast a 1st weave, and adds her class level spell with the force descriptor from their spells known as a immediate action a number of times a day equal to 1 plus his spellcasting modifier. This spell is cast in addition to the mage's usual number of spells per day and at the mage's ECLher initiative.
'''{{Anchor|Energy Adept}} {{Ex}}:''' An Argent Battle Mage is innately more capable when it comes to force spells. Any spell cast by a second level Argent Battle Mage with the force descriptor is cast at +1 caster level. This increases to +2 caster levels at level 9.
