Myrrh, Frankincense, and Steel: Kurald Galain's Guide to the Magus

[Eldonauran]

Thought I'd add some info that might make you change your mind on how you rank Ki Arcana. Perhaps, maybe get it to Ki Arcana or Ki Arcana.

It is situational but allows for a recharge mechanic with your Arcane Pool.

1) Worship Irori
2) Have a source of channel positive energy
3) Take Ki Channel
-- You know have a way to recharge the Ki Pool of others --
4) Get a Ki Pool yourself
5) Take Ki Arcana
-- Have fun using Ki to fuel your Arcane Pool and recharging it when you get low. The more D6's you roll for channel, the more Ki you recharge.

Possible tips for the VMC section that makes use of this? VMC Monk becomes useful for those Kensai Magus that dip for Channeling. Throwing VMC Magus onto a Warpriest Sacred Fist build is fun. First Magus Arcana is available at level 7, exactly when the Sacred first gets a Ki Pool. And you don't need to have a Ki Pool to take Ki Channel, allowing it as a 5th level feat, just after you get to channel energy with fervor
