Can a magus learn the wizards "discovery" of golem construction, thus eliminating the need to burn the multiple feats to do so. I'm working on a character that is obsessed with constructs and building a Golem / suit of armor to protect his daughter. even when he's not there. Basically building a shield guardian for her. key is Ideal i want to create two golems, and have the ability to hide inside one if need be. Also looking at how to fund the necessary components, obviously 50,000 per golem is kind of pricy.
Currently i'll shift to wizard at level 8 when i and go metal / evocation schools.
RAW, no. Arcane discoveries require wizard levels. "Golem Constructor: ... You must be at least a 9th-level wizard to select this discovery." A wizard/eldritch knight would probably be able to add their wizard and eldritch knight levels together with Diverse Training, since discoveries are selected with feats.
Thematically, I'd say a loremaster should also be able to select arcane discoveries: either adding wizard and loremaster levels to qualify or being able to select one discovery with the Applicable Knowledge secret as if a wizard of the same CL. It's not RAW or even RAI, though.
If you want a magus to be able to create a construct without taking the feats, your best bet is to track down a golem manual. Nothing in the golem manual's description says you can't use it to craft a modified construct, since it says "The cost of the book does not include the cost of constructing the golem's body." Granted, if the modification has additional requirements beyond the extra monetary cost, the manual will not cover those.
