The Advanced Class Guide adds the Eldritch Scion archetype for Magus. This archetype allows the Magus to cast spells like a Sorcerer. I have two questions about this archetype:

1. Does casting a spell with metamagic increase the casting time for this archetype like it does for Sorcerers? Does this impact the use of metamagic spells with Spell Combat? For instance, if I apply a metamagic feat to Shocking Grasp can I not use this with Spell Combat?

2. Spell Recall is replaced by the Bloodline special. Improved Spell Recall isn't replaced so that would mean they learn Spell Recall at level 11. Spell Recall gives the Magus the ability to recall a prepared spell that was cast. How does this work if an Eldritch Scion doesn't prepare spells?
