I´ve mentioned this before, but I thought it deserved it´s own thread that´s more visible.
This is relevant to the Magus, because I think Eldritch Knight deserves some love in the APG as well,
and it seems reasonable for them to ALSO receive access to some of the unique Magus spells.
Of course, since ElK´s can have ANY type of arcane spell casting (Wiz/Sorc/Witch/Bard) there would need to be some sort of one-off text which allows them to cast the Magus spells, while verifying the Spell Level they cast them at. I don´t see a problem with ElK´s casting Magus spells at the same spell level Magus´ get them at, but Paizo could feel differently. If they cast them at a diferent spell level, any magus spell could also list its spell level for ElK´s (regardless of ElK casting type).
Some sort of Feats with both BAB and Caster Level Pre-Req´s, possibly with requirement to be a Magus or ElK, seems reasonable to give both classes some Feat love. Given ElK has no Class Features most of their progression, and no action synergy like Bards/Magus´ have, it seems like the ElK really needs to get more out of these Feats than a Magus. I could see Feats that enhance/extend Magus abilities, but if you don´t have that Magus ability (i.e. because you are ElK) it would give you a weaker version of that ability, e.g. -5 levels below a Magus WITH the ability in power, but still a help for ElK.
Any feedback from Paizo on what sort of material they plan to release for the Core Rulebook´s Full BAB/Full Arcane Casting PrC within Complete Arcana would be appreciated, to help focus people´s feedback and brainstorming on this topic.

Well, that would make the spells available to full class wizars/witches,
rather than keeping them exclusive to Magus/ Eldritch Knight for one...
And personally, that seems more complcated to figure out variant spell levels like that, rather than have each Magus spell listed as Magus/Eldritch Knight (Spell Level), or have text somewhere that says Eldritch Knights gain access to Magus exclusive spells at the same spell level.
Anyhow, the actual details seem less important than that there would be some attention to the ElK. Sharing some spells or feats with the Magus just seems like an efficient way to make the same thematically appropriate material kill two birds with one stone.
