The Eldritch Knight is a follower of two paths. Mixing martial combat skills with magical spells taking to the path of Mage then Warrior. Though this may seem similar to the Samurai and the Sub Classes of that class, they are not. Samurai classes have a focus to use their weapon to perfom magical feats. Where in an eldritch knight needs no weapon to focus. They cast in the same manner as a mage, yet their double training allows for them just as easily to dispatch foes with ease in martial comba. allowing them to deal equally with physical opponents with spells of fire while also being able to dispatch casters up close and personal.
Their magic is empowered with Runes using inscriptions in their powers. Should they wish to conjure their weapon, they inscribe the rune upon that which they wish to draw the weapon from. For elemental conjuring they would draw the symbol/s with that element in some form.
Due to the study and use of mage they gain D2 on the meter from light chain armors or enchanted clothes. They use M1 on the meter for Magic Resistance.
They can use the Quarter Staff as always. They can train in one chosen weapon. This is often a melee weapon to combat spell casters on the battlefield. They can summon a powerful weapon as they progress. An Eldritch Knight that comes from an Elementalist background would summon a weapon from the elements while a Necromancer might summon one from the void.

Mage/Warrior: Bone Caster
A powerful warrior using runes and carvings to create items needed as they see fit: Carving into a stick to make it a powerful weapon; placing runes on a rope to enchant it to wrap around their opponents; fixing runes to their armor or an item to create more protection for themselves.
Mage/Cavalier: Runesmith
In close ability to the Bone Caster, the Runesmith focuses on items and weapons that aid in their mounted abilities and specialties: Placing runes on horseshoes to increase their mounts ability to stay firmly on slick ground or to increase the speed of their mount.
Spell Sword/Mage- Transient Centurion
A stout defender in nearly any situation. Calling upon magical abilities to enhance their weapons further combining the arts learned from fighting and focusing energy allowing them to channel more and aid in giving mana more than a spell sword alone.
