If you deliver the spell with your sword, it is no longer a touch attack and you can therefore also apply Power Attack if you so choose.
However, you cannot use Spellcombat AND move, as Spellcombat is a full-round action.
If you move AND cast the spell you can still delive the spell with a sword attack as part of the casting (Spellstrike), but you only get one attack.
As a 12th lvl magus you have BAB +9/+4. When you use Spellcombat and Spellstrike (and do not move) you get three attacks at +7/+7/+2 (additional modifiers may apply from enchancement bonuses, Str, etc.)
Awesome, just what I needed.
So to make things a bit more complicated, let's go with this. I'm using a Scimitar +3 and have a STR mod of 6/INT mod of 5.
First round I take my turn to cast haste and move in. Next round I use a swift action to give myself Arcane Accuracy, use Spellcombat to cast Intensified Shocking Grasp, 5 foot into range and have 4 attacks at a +22/+22/+22/+17? And I could use Power Attack on those attacks?

You should consider taking the kensai as well..
I thought about it, but decided against it. It removes my ability to wear heavy armor and gimps spell casting more then I would like.
