Magic Resistance
The mage-arbiter has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Spellcasting
The mage-arbiter is a 20th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 18). It has the following paladin spells prepared:
- 1st level (4 slots): command, detect magic, protection from evil and good, shield of faith
- 2nd level (3 slots): hold person, spiritual weapon, zone of truth
- 3rd level (3 slots): dispel magic, fear, remove curse
- 4th level (3 slots): banishment, death ward, locate creature
- 5th level (2 slots): dominate person, geas
Atmospheric Nullification
While the mage-arbiter is holding the sword of the spelldrinker, any magical light, darkness, or atmospheric effect within 30 feet of it is treated as nonmagical and breathable.
Empowered Spellbreak (2/Day)
When the mage-arbiter uses its Spellbreak reaction, it can choose to automatically disrupt the spell if it is of 5th level or lower. If the spell was successfully disrupted, and it has a casting time of one action or bonus action, the spell is absorbed into the sword of the spelldrinker. The mage arbiter can release the absorbed spell as an action, using the slot level, spell save DC, spell attack bonus, and spellcasting ability of the original caster, but it is otherwise treated as if the mage-arbiter cast the spell. The sword can only have one spell absorbed at a time.

Reactions
Spellbreak
When a creature the mage-arbiter can see within 120 feet of it casts a spell, the mage-arbiter disrupts the spell if it is of 3rd level or lower, causing it to fail and have no effect. If the target is casting a spell of 4th level of higher, the mage-arbiter must first succeed on a Charisma check (DC 10 + the spell's level) in order to disrupt the spell. If the spell is successfully disrupted, the target takes 1d4 force damage per level of the spell that was being cast.

description
The rank of mage-arbiter is known to be a notable mark of prestige, but only the most renowned of this rank carry the esteemed sword of the spelldrinker.
Mage-Arbiter: Only the most skilled, dedicated, and power-hungry Justicars advance to the rank of mage-arbiter. Known far and wide as a mage's worst nightmare made real, a mage-arbiter can swiftly and easily negate the efforts of most arcane practitioners. When their full wrath and might are brought to bear, even archmages retreat.
