When I make magi, I prefer to go for consistent weapon damage over nova spell combat, using arcane strike for more attacks.
I want to make a mindblade with as many weapon attacks as I can get and big damage output.
I would prefer TWF over a two-handed weapon.
If there is a way to get Dex-to-damage on light weapons, that would be nice.
I believe Artful Dodge lets you use your int instead of Dex for feats so you could still go Strength/Int 2wfing.
Do Spell Combat and TWF stack?

Keep in mind that the -2 penalties on attack rolls also stack.

The spell Blade Tutor's Spirit should at least help minimize that penalty.

That's one good option, and there are others. It's just important to keep the -4 penalty in mind when designing a build.
Now I just need a way to curve the -10 thought components and I'm set.Do Spell Combat and TWF stack?Specifically for a level 7+ mindblade they do
The most straightforward option is to take the Intuitive Spell metamagic feat. It does eat up your higher level slots, though.

Yes, you can do that. But presumably you are going to want to cast lots of other spells too.
It's important to note that any metamagic on spells for a spontaneous caster such as the mindblade will bump it up to a full-round action.
It's a better option, in my opinion, to forgo the concentration check entirely somehow. Whether that be from clever 5ft steps, scorpion whips, the warding weapon spell, or some other method is up to you.

Thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten that issue. Full-round casting isn't compatible with Spell Combat.

All good suggestions.

That's why the various magus metamagic arcana exist.It's important to note that any metamagic on spells for a spontaneous caster such as the mindblade will bump it up to a full-round action.

Magus has only recently gotten spontaneous spellcasting archetypes though.
