In the FAQ for Ultimate Magic the question and answer regarding the Magus and Haste are:

------

Magus: Does spell combat count as making a full attack action for the purpose of haste and other effects?

No. Spell combat is its own kind of full-round action, and is not a full attack action.

—Pathfinder Design Team, 04/05/13

------

However, in the Core Rules, when discussing Multiple Attacks, it states:

Multiple Attacks: A character who can make more than one attack per round must use the full-attack action (see Full-Round Actions) in order to get more than one attack.

------

So, since in order to make multiple attacks, you must use the full-attack action, and since Haste states:

When making a full attack action, a hasted creature may make one extra attack with one natural or manufactured weapon.

------

Also, since one of the Arcane Pool powers of the Magus is to imbue his weapon with Speed (Haste), it seems that the intent really was that the Magus benefits from the extra attack allowed by Haste.

It seems that this FAQ is in error. Can we get an additional ruling on this, please?
