I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with the Dark Ranger from Warcraft 3, but I thought it would be a a really cool character to play. I've tried to make it here:
Magus Arcana: Lingering Pain (Silence)
Spell Blended (Animate Dead, Lesser) that is a Magical Lineage for Reach Spell to try and satisfy Myrmidarch's Ranged Spell Strike. Whether or not it does, you all can let me know. Also I know that it might have to hit a target that is already dead... Let me know if the arrow strike damage happens before the spell or simultaneusly.
Vampiric Touch (Life Drain)
Charm Person, somewhat weak in comparison to the W3, but it can work.

You know, the idea of the "black arrow" on its own would be a great conversion. If the target dies within 1 round of being struck by a black arrow, it immediately rises as a skeleton under the control of the archer who shot the arrow. Probably needs some fine tuning to get it right, though.
I'd say you really need "dominate person" to properly represent the final ability of the Dark Ranger. Use the "spell blending" Magus Arcana to give the Dark Ranger access to it. The downside is that this is only feasible at the 15th level. Still, that may be appropriate as Warcraft is a high-magic setting.
