Hey Kurald, great guide. I would just like to add that for the skirner it reads:
"A skirnir may use his shield hand to perform somatic components for magus spells, forfeiting the shield’s bonus to AC until the beginning of his next turn"
Most important in here is the "perform somatic components" text. If you take the still spell metamagic feat, or the still magic magus arcana, you can keep all your tower shield's shield bonus, a difference of 4-9 AC. You could also use a still metamagic rod (3/11k) if you somehow have a prehensile tail or something similar. Most maguses take magical lineage anyways, so your shocking grasps will probably still be first level.
I don't think this is a huge game-changer or anything, as it is still an 8+ archetype, but can really bump up the viability and should probably be mentioned under the archetype description and the still spell feat/arcana.
