Blue Mage (sorcerer archtype)

Spells-
The blue mage only choses one spell known from each spell level(from the sorcerer spell list). The rest of his spell known slots are filled up by suffering the effects of spells cast on him. When he is the affected a spell, he may make a concentration check (DC 15+ 2xspell level). Spells not found on the sorcerer list get +5 to the DC, and divine spells get an additional +5 to the DC. If he succeeds the check, he fills one of his spells known slots with that spell. If he fails, he cannot learn that spell until he gains a level. He may learn alchemical extracts as spells in this fashion. Divine spells are cast as arcane spells and use charisma as the casting stat, but cost 2 spell slots to cast.

Copy Ability- The blue mage may attempt to learn special abilities, such as witch hexes or oracle revelations. He must make the concentration check- DC (15+the caster level of the ability to be learned). If he succeeds, he may use this ability freely. He must be of a level high enough to gain that power if he was of the same class. He learns the ability with all the specifications of the orignal use and it does not improve. (So if he copies an eidolon, he gets an eidolon with the exact same specifications and it does not improve as he levels up, and he does not gain the other summoner abilities such as maker's call).

Appropriate Ability Targets are:
- Witch Hexes
- Magus Arcana (he can power these via spell slots)
- Inquisitor Bane ability
- Oracle Revelations
- Alchemist Discoveries
- The alchemist bomb ability
- Wild Shape
- Summon monster ability of summoners
- Eidolon
- Supernatural or spell like abilities relevant to race or mosters (such as aasimar's daylight ability or nightmare's plane shift ability).

He may have 1 such ability at 1st level and one more for every 5 levels he's obtained. He may chose to "lose" an ability to copy a new one. He may learn feats based on these abilities, but he loses the benefit of the feat if he gives up the ability. For example, if he copies a hex he might learn the split hex feat but loses the benefit if he replaces the hex with a non-hex.

This ability replaces bloodline powers/spells/ and abilities.
