Mageslayer (5e Subclass)
Some fighters, realizing the inherent weakness their fighting style has against magic, decide to educate themselves and train both physically and mentally against the arcane. In doing so, they pick up on some magical tricks and learn to quell their enemies' abilities through sheer force of will.

Arcane Inquisition
When you take this archetype at 3rd level, you learn your first Inquisition spells, which you cast using Charisma. If one of your Inquisition spells requires a saving throw, use the following DC: 8 + your proficiency modifier + your Charisma modifier. You do not have to use material components to cast these spells. Once you cast an Inquisition spell, you can't cast it again until you complete a long rest.

| 3rd | magic aura, silence |

Retaliation

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
