I'm working out my attacks with my Magus right now, and considering all options.
I have a bastard sword, and a great sword for when I want to enlarge myself and go all melee, sacrificing my ability to cast spells until I free up one of my hands.

In regards to wielding my great sword (or my bastard sword two-handed), am I able to also make an off-hand attack with my armour spikes?
Armour spikes don't occupy a hand, so I could potentially hold a two-handed weapon while still wielding the spikes, correct?

(Nevermind the fact that armour spikes allow you to attack someone 5 feet away with ambiguous parts of your body. Does the character execute a friendly chest bump? And one way or another, how does this not provokes AoO's the way unarmed attacks would?)

I have Two-weapon Fighting so this possibility is quite desirable in plain melee combat.

As a secondary question, how does Two-weapon Fighting interact later on with a +6/+1 base attack bonus?

I'm wanting to gain access to the Dragon Disciple Prestige class via the spontaneous casting Cabalist Magus archetype.
My GM has approved the basic INT based Cabalist Magus system, so I have the go ahead for that.
I could dip into a sorcerer level even if he didn't, but that would be to the detriment of my DD levels, by the end of it.
But my big question is, do the Cabalist levels in the draconic Bloodline count as sorcerer levels when it comes to the DD Blood of Dragons ability?

"Blood of Dragons: A dragon disciple adds his level
to his sorcerer levels when determining the powers
gained from his bloodline. If the dragon disciple does
not have levels of sorcerer, he instead gains bloodline
powers of the draconic bloodline, using his dragon disciple
level as his sorcerer level to determine the bonuses gained.
He must choose a dragon type upon gaining his first level
in this class and that type must be the same as his sorcerer
type. This ability does not grant bonus spells to a sorcerer
unless he possesses spell slots of an appropriate level. Such
bonus spells are automatically granted if the sorcerer gains
spell slots of the spell’s level."

As a secondary question; the Cabalist is stated as gaining a sorcerer bloodline at 7th level instead of his knowledge pool, treating his magus level as his sorcerer level.
Does he retroactively gain the powers that he has so far missed? In this case, does he gain claws attacks that are considered magic and deal 1d6, DR 5 for his energy type,and a natural ac +1? All at 7th level?
Does this seem an excessive trade off in replacement of Knowledge Pool to any of you?

I would love some advice with these two questions. Also, by the by, first time poster, here(be gentle).
