Looking for Advise on How a 10th level Magus would go about fighting Demons & devils. ie Stuff immune (or highly resistant) to Electric, Fire, & Cold Damage.

Debuffs and CC works the best IME.

Well, beating on them with a weapon is always a favorite. There are other types of elemental damage that will work if you have chosen your spells properly, and of course a keen weapon will help you generate lots of critical hits.

You have a lot of buffs at your disposal that will help you stay in combat with it.

Essentially, just remember that you have other spells than shocking grasp and you should be fine.

Well, Corrosive Touch is solid, if not as good as Shocking Grasp. Honestly, I think all Magi should keep a Corrosive Touch or two prepared for precisely this kind of situation...

I like to keep a chill touch or two handy. They get SR, but it's negative energy damage. It's useless against constructs, though. Corrosive touch is a good one, too, and affects any creature type equally.

You can use Spell Combat to cast buff spells on yourself/your weapon, instead of damaging spells.
