I've read through this thread and I'm still a bit confused on how this ability is supposed to work. Does it work like one round you cast into your weapon and the following round you make a melee attack, add the weapon damage and then spell damage/effect?
Or do you get to do it all in one round?
I think the consensus is that it is a two-round process.
As I see it, that sort of hampers the well.... magusness of the magus. That would either do one of two things, a magus would just touch attack people instead of stabbing, because hey don't have to worry about Armor bonuses with it. Or, he would have to Cast spell, run up and stab, run away, cast, run up and stab, if he didn't he would be getting Attacks of Opportunityied all over the place.
And really, is it worth spending two rounds to hit someone with it when you could just magic first stab second? Unless of course you had super amazing critical threat ranges, then it might be worth it.
And let's consider thier second level thing the "Spell Combat" as well, if this is a two round affair, just to touch attack a guy with a weapon, then what about that, with ANY standard action spell thrown in to a full attack?
Also, first post of mine! YAY!
