If I'm a Magus 1/Swashbuckler 3, and I cast Shield (as part of Spell Combat) then 5' step to attack an enemy my light or one-handed piercing weapon (at a -2 because of Spell Combat), I should definitely get +1 damage per Swashbuckler level as I have not attacked with a weapon in my other hand or used a shield other than my trusty buckler.

If I had Quickdraw, I would even be able to hold a torch in my buckler-hand, cast Shield (as part of Spell Combat) Quickdraw my light or one-handed piercing weapon with my main hand, then 5' step to attack an enemy (at a -2 to hit), and I'd still gain the benefits of Precise Strike.

Just curious Calth, if your interpretation of RAW is:

1.) Precise Strike is intended to forbid the use of your off-hand making an attack. (though you left out the part about "cannot attack with a weapon" but since your argument seems to be that all spells are weapons, we can leave that alone for now)

2.) Off-hand is not a physical hand (per FAQ)
3.) Spell Combat is an attack that utilizes the off-hand
4.) Therefore Precise Strike and Spell Combat dont work together.

If I'm a Magus with Spell Combat, and I've quaffed an Invisibility Potion, then drawn a one-handed melee weapon, on my next turn I cast a spell, let's say Shield (as part of Spell Combat) then take a five-foot step and swing my sword at an enemy, at which point do I become visible?
