As my want to be shadowdancer died last session(lvl6 was so close :() and I always wanted to play a Magus, I'm going with a bladebound/kensai-shinigami-like charakter. Here is my build so far. Any tips/advice would be welcome.
NG human bladebound kensai 5
STR 16
DEX 14
CON 12 (+fav class for HP)
INT 18 (4th-lvl-raise, rest goes to STR)
WIS 10
CHA 7
Traits: Magical Lineage (Shocking Grasp), open (maybe sth to up concentration)
Feats
1: Heighten Spell, Elemental Spell (acid), Weapon Prof + Focus (katana)
3: Power Attack
5: Intensified Spell, Preferred Spell (Shocking Grasp)
7: Weapon Spec (katana)
9: Critical Focus (maybe improved crit and sth else at 13?)
11: Greater Weapon Focus (katana), Quicken Spell
13: Staggering Critical
15: Spell Perfection (Shocking Grasp)
Arcana
6: Arcane Accuracy
12: Ghost Blade
15: Bane Blade
Gear (We get half the amount of money you would normaly get)
Silken Ceremonial Robe +1
Cracked Orange Prism Ioun Stone (Touch of Fatigue)
3x PoP 1st lvl
Potion CLW and 20gp
It was either Weapon Finesse, Dervish Dance and Elf or the build I posted above. I think Preferred Spell gives me more versatility and the ability to chop 2-handed for more damage for a little less AC.

So ...
I will take Outlander (Lore Seeker) as my 2nd trait

What are good Spells to take for +1CL/DC?
The ioun stone doesn't allow you to select a cantrip or orison from another class' spell list, so you can't use it to know touch of fatigue.
As a non-spontaneous caster, it allows you to prepare one extra cantrip per day from the magus spell list.
I thought it gives you a cantrip choosen by the caster that made the ioun stone. I just picked this one to avoid the cheesyness of spamming Arcane Mark. So another PoP it is. :P
