Class talent

This is a Magus Arcana — a class feature gained through that class's own talent choices, not a feat you pick through normal feat selection.

(Su) Whenever the magus scores a critical hit with a melee weapon, he may cast a spell with a range of touch as a swift action, then make a touch attack with that spell against the target of the critical hit as a free action. The magus can use this ability once per day. The magus must be at least 12th level before selecting this arcana.

Prerequisites

Magus level 12th
