--------------------
Slick comes from a prominent Snowcaster elven family renowned for its long line of mages in a secretive tribal community famed for its magical prowess. His own education in the arcane arts was highly unorthodox, tutored as he was by a White Witch of Irrisen, who had sought asylum among the northern elves.

Slick is a Twilight Speaker of the reclusive Snowcaster elves, an emissary to the outside world. His first assignment was to Tian Xia. He crossed the icy expanse of the Crown of the World and spent two decades among the Tian-Sing people in the southeastern corner of Tian Xia, in the great archipelago known as Minata or the Wandering Isles. His pale skin and gangly height were otherworldly to the Tian Sing, who are darker and often shorter than most other Tian peoples. However, Slick soon found reserved acceptance, perhaps because his red hair and green eyes resembled those of the local people, whose hair often has a reddish tint and among whom green eyes are more common than in the rest of the continent. He learned the ways of the wayang hunters, earning respect for his dedication to pursuing that ancient threat from the Plane of Shadow.

Of course, Slick is not his true name, but it suits him, a sly reference to his icy homeland and a name outsiders can pronounce. And a certain anonymity can be useful.

Spell Combat & Spellstrike
Order of events, assuming the Magus starts beside his target.
1. Declare Spell Combat (Full Round action).
2. Make concentration check to cast Touch range spell defensively (Shocking Grasp, for example).
3a. If the Magus fails the check, the spell fails and the Magus cannot make a either a touch attack or a Spellstrike attack. Go to 6.
3b. If the Magus makes the check, the Magus can then make either a melee touch attack or a Spellstrike attack.
4. Assuming the Magus chooses to Spellstrike, he then makes a melee attack using his weapon at a -2 (due to spell combat).
5a. If the Magus hits on his attack, the enemy is dealt both weapon damage(1d6+x) as well as being affected by the spell (damage, effects, etc). Go to 6.
5b. If the Magus misses on his attack, the enemy is not affected by the spell and the spell charge is held. Go to 7.
6. As part of Spell combat, the Magus is able to make a second attack at a -2 to hit. If he hits, he'll do normal weapon damage (1d6+x). END
7. As part of Spell combat, the Magus is able to make a second attack at a -2 to hit.
8a. If he hits, he'll do both normal weapon damage (1d6+x) as well as expend the charge on his held spell (Damage, effects, etc).
8b. If he misses, he won't do any weapon damage to the enemy but will still have the charge of his spell. END

Boiled down, you could interpret the Magus as getting a full 3 different standard actions in a single turn (Cast Spell, Attack, Attack).
