Dark Magician
A dark magician is a practitioner of black magic, which focuses on offensive spells. The focus on offensive magic comes at the cost of spell versatility, as the training required make them shun more helpful spells. Most dark magicians wear concealing robes, dark attires and many are fronds of large conical hats.
Class: Sorcerer
Level: 1st, 3rd, 9th, 20th
Replaces: Bloodline Arcana, Bloodline Power (3rd, 9th, 20th)

Limited Bloodline: A dark magician can only choose one of the following bloodlines: abyssal, arcane, daemon, fey, infernal, oni, starsoul, and undead. A GM may allow additional bloodline to be allowable at her discretion.
Black Magic Arcana: A dark magician is focused on black magic, which is inherently offensive in nature. Whenever she casts a spell or uses a bloodline power that deals damage, it deals +1 point of damage per die rolled. Additionally a dark magician adds +1 to the DC of any spells she casts with the [death] descriptor or that causes petrification.
However a dark magician cannot learn spells with the [good] descriptor or of the [healing] subschool. If the dark magician learns a spell with multiple alignment descriptors, she cannot cast it with the [good] descriptor.

As a swift action, the dark magician may grant herself a +2 deflection bonus to AC and Damage Reduction 1/Magic.

As a full-round action, the dark magician may alter which type she has chosen with this ability.
This ability replaces the sorcerer’s 9th level bloodline power.
Black Magic Master (Su): A 20th level dark magician is a potent user of black magic. She treats other creatures as if their energy resistance and spell resistance were 10 lower. She treats immunity to magic as if it was SR of 20 + the creature’s HD (which is not reduced by this ability).
