Blade Weaving
As a student of the arcane magic and its ways, you studied an ancient elven art that weaves magic into your blades. The Blade Weavers used to be strong and highly effective medium ranged magical users that used the two spinning blades they have floating around them to harm the enemies in quick and effective ways.
Floating Blades
As a Blade Weaver, you can channel the weave in two weapons (ones you are proficient with) to have them, at all times, floating around you, ready to strike at any given time.
In order to channel the weave in a weapon, you must spend at least 20 minutes focusing on the sword. It will replace one weapon you already channelled the weave in (of your choice), if you have any.
Your attack rolls made in such a way will be done with Intelligence instead of Strength/Dexterity, and Intelligence modifier will be added to the total damage as well, and they will all count as ranged attacks instead of melee attacks. Attacking with the second Floating Blade cannot be done with a Bonus action.
In case of a versatile weapon, (e.g.: Longsword 1d8/1d10 damage), the Floating Blade will always deal the highest dice as damage (e.g.: Longsword will do 1d10 damage).
Floating Blades have a range of 15/20 ft., and your Floating Blades will return back to you provided they are not stopped by any physical or magical obstacle on their way back.
You can have a weapon you are proficient with in your hands, but that will count as a normal weapon and the attack rolls will be made with the respective stat.
Channelling
Having undergone the intense training and studies to become a Blade Weaver, you also unlocked magical ways of empowering the weave that holds your blades afloat around you, learning of ways to cause harm to the foes you manage to strike with your blades.
Channelled Potential
When you hit an enemy with one of your Floating Blades, you can select one of the effects listed below to trigger at the expense of Channel Points.
Your regain all your Channel Points when you finish a short or a long rest.
Your Channelled Potential save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.
You can use a maximum of two Channelled Potential skills on an attack.
Freezing Edge
You can spend 1 Channel Point to use Freezing Edge. The target must make a Constitution saving throw against your Channelled Potential save DC. On a failed save, the target will have disadvantage on all ability checks and attack rolls until the end of its next turn. The Freezing Edge will also deal an extra d6 cold damage regardless if the target saved or not.
Upon expending more than just one Channel Point, up to a maximum of 3, you will deal an additional damage for each expended Channel Point.
Upon reaching 5th level, Freezing Edge will deal a d8 instead, and upon reaching the 11th level, it will deal 1d12 Cold damage instead.
Repelling Slash
You can spend 1 Channel Point to use Repelling Blast. The target must make a Strength saving throw against your Channelled Potential save DC. On a failed save, the target will be pushed 5ft., back.
Upon expending more than just one Channel Point, up to a maximum of 4, the target will be pushed an additional 5ft.
Precise Cuts
You can spend 1 Channel Point to use Precise Cuts. This will deal an additional Weapon Damage dice as magical damage to the target.
Upon expending more than just one channel point, up to a maximum of 6, you will deal an additional Weapon Damage die for each expended Channel Point.

Impaled Courage
You can spend 2 Channel Points to use Impaled Courage. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw against your Channelling Potential save DC or be frightened by you for one minute. It can repeat the save at the end of each of its subsequent turns.
A target that successfully saves against this effect is immune to it for the next hour.

Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher. You know one 1st-level wizard spell of your choice. The Spells Known column from the Blade Weaver spellcasting table show when you learn more Wizard spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be an Abjuration or Evocation spell of your choice. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
