If you dip 1 level into winterwtich archtype as a Magus...
Does the 'ice magic' ability and/or the 'frozen caress' Hex also apply to Magus spells, or just the Witch spells.
When a winter witch casts a spell with the cold descriptor, the save DC of the spell increases by +1. A winter witch cannot learn or cast spells with the fire descriptor at all.
Also since the 'Cold Flesh' ability replaces the 4th level Hex, do you still get the 1st level benefits if you never reach level 4 as a witch?
At 1st level, a winter witch gains endure elements as a constant spell-like ability, but only against cold temperatures. At 4th level, she gains cold resistance 5, making her comfortable in near-freezing temperatures. At 9th-level, this increases to cold resistance 10, and at 14th level, it becomes immunity to cold.
This replaces the witch’s 4th-level hex.

From the FAQ: "General rule: If a class ability modifies your spellcasting, it applies to your spells from all classes, not just spells from the class that grants the ability. (The exception is if the class ability specifically says it only applies to spells from that class.)"

I would assume you would still get the ability.
You do get Cold Flesh, as you got it at 1st level.
Looks to me like all of those apply to all your spells, since none of them say 'witch spells'. If I found myself facing a contrary ruling, I'd point to the part where I could not cast fire spells at all, and say, "Only witch fire spells, then?", to sort of make the point.
And the Cold Flesh is a bit front-loaded, sure, but it does work for the dipper. (and for so many table jokes) :)
Thanks, thats how I thought it worked, but wanted to be check first
