Now originally magus was the Latin version of the Greek version of a Persian word for priest. Which is what the original magi were, priests. One thing a magus was was a practitioner of magic, being dedicated to the study and practice of magic. Being some sort of cross between a spell caster and a blade slinger was not part of the package.
Your magus is not, strictly speaking, a magus but something else entirely. Calling them magi is going to confuse people who grew up with the magus as he appears in story and song. I strongly recommend you rename the class and reserve terms like mage, magus, and magi for the wizard and similar classes.
I know it means little in the greater scheme of things, but some words deserve a little respect in their usage.
