Quick minor update - All white magic cures, heals, bless spells below 6th level now hurt undead. Red Mage's Spellstrike ability clarified and changed.

So, uh, looking at the updates to Spellstrike... it kinda doesn't work, or at least it doesn't work in the Red Mage's favor. The Red Mage spell list has no offensive spells with a range of 'touch,' so unless you're trying to give that dragon you're fighting hella mixed signals by hitting him with a sword that also gives him a +6 enhancement bonus to Strength, the ability should probably read along the lines of "...whenever a red mage casts a spell from the red mage spell that makes a touch attack roll (melee or ranged), he can deliver the spell through any weapon he is wielding as part of a melee attack."

Whether this is just a misunderstanding of what's written down or whatever, It probably should be clarified better, because the first thing that one's mind defaults to when reading "touch spell" is a spell that you have to actually touch your enemy with.

Ranged touch is a "touch" spell.

Touch can refer to 2 different things in pathfinder

1.) The spell range requiring a melee attack as you reach out to poke somebody with the spell 
2.) The type of ac your attack hits (ignoring all armor, shield, and natural armor bonuses)

Magus spellstrike refers to the first

I noticed that there's two spells that inflict the Charm status effect, but there's no entry for the status effect anywhere.

Yup, noted. Will fix on next update

I noticed Flare doesn't have a description for the duration of the Burn status effect.
Those who wield red magic and blue magic are know as violet mages but very few are actually known and even fewer are actually masters of the violet magic.

Just thought you should know, if you do an update with the initiator archetypes, a huge amount of errata is out for Path of War material.

What's the likelihood of a major update being done in December?

Very likely in 7 days.

I had a suggestion for 2 of the Holy Sword Techs.  I think a change to the name of Holy Ruination to Divine Ruination (the War of the Lions name) might be fitting.  And for Hallowed Bolt, I'm curious why it doesn't apply the Silence condition (as it did in FFT)?

Also, with an update pending I wanted to point out that Two of the Blademaster's, Samurais, and Monks abilities are identical in function, but differ in name.  I'm not sure if this was by design or maybe just a simple goof.  I also don't know what other classes (if any) have similar abilities that may have had this happen.

I love the work you've done here, keep it up!!

Having the kicks/slashes do the same thing is ok. They have their own combos

What I meant to point out was that each of the classes has 2 abilities that are the same, but only differ in name. I wasn't sure if this was by design or maybe just an oversight. I agree that it's okay that each class has an ability that does the same thing.
