If I had a level 4 magus with the two weapon fighting and quick draw feats, could I use spell strike and spell combat to cast chill touch, with the free attack to deliver the first charge, deliver the second charge with my normal attack, then on my second round quick draw another weapon and deliver the other two charges with two weapon fighting?
I know this would be suboptimal, but it seems fun and flavorful for a necromancy focused magus I was considering.
Edit: before it comes up, spell combat requires a free hand, spell strike does not.

This is something that you can do, yes.
However, take note that TWF does not work with spell combat, unless you have the mindblade archetype that Johnnycat pointed out, and even then it doesn't come online till mid game.
Because of this, when you're doing most of your class feature stuff, you'll be wasting your feats, and when you're using your feats, you'll be doing mostly not-magus things.

If you are playing a dex build magus with maxed ranks in stealth, a trait giving you stealth as a class skill, and happen to be the party scout?
More often than not, unless the GM is drastically inflating the perception skill of most encounters.
<--- my magus has a +22 stealth at 9th level, when not invisible or pretending to be a goblin.
