The bladebound magus is bonded to an intelligent magical weapon known as a black blade, which grows in power as the magus does and grants the magus special powers. The quarterstaff is the foundation of this magus hybrid study. Their power extends as far as their senses perceive, overcoming the distance between the magus and their target even with spells that normally require direct physical touch. With magic, the sky is the limit, and these magi are never hemmed in by the confines of their physical surroundings. When magic flows through them, their shield can block nearly anything. This magus has studied the possible applications of magic, learning both offensive and defensive maneuvers. These magi are laughing shadows of spell and sword, always one step ahead of their enemies and always with a trick up their sleeve. To use magic is to be free, it allows one to go wherever one wants, do whatever one wants, and avoid any consequences. They turn their heavy weapon into an unstoppable force in order to boost their own striking power or keep them standing on the battlefield. Once inexorable iron magi begin upon their path there is no stopping them. Each magus' respective fighting style is represented by their field of study.

A magus' extensive training and carefully chosen spells together create a dangerous fighting style, called a hybrid study, unlike any other.
