Character build concept plus

Ok, looking to build a Magus with 2 archetypes. Looking at a Hexcrafter/Spell Blade. Now I think this will work, but what I really want to know is once I hit 4th level, can I use a feat to select extra hex to gain different hex's that way? So in other words at 5th level, I take extra hex and have Slumber and healing hex? Maybe at higher levels I take a Major hex for healing. I was talking to someone and they and I thought we could do this, but someone else thought that since you have to take it in place of a Magus Arcana, that you could not use a feat for this Of course I guess the easy way out would be to take a level of Witch, and hen be able to load up on hex's through feats. But the why bother taking the Archetype of hexcrafter in the first place.

My other point to this is when you are able to have even 1 rogue talent you can then take feats and load up on them, even if you never went higher than 2nd level rogue. You may not get Higher talents, but still I would think the thought process would be the same here.

No, The Prerequisite for Extra Hex is the Hex class feature, the hexcrafter does not get the Hex class feature, he gets Hex Magus that allows him to pick a Hex.

And while I am waiting for anyone to chime in, I would like to ask about Spell Combat ability. You take a minus 2 penalty on all attacks, but you do not need 2 weapon fighting correct? Would 2 weapon fighting help reduce penalties? Would Force athame, also have the same penalty? Or does one need 2 weapon fighting for that?

Ok, I can buy that, so would taking extra Arcana allow me to pick a Magus arcana and then trade it in for a hex? Would equal the same thing in the end?
