Magus Builds

[Bardofcyberspace]

Hello,
I am looking for some help with a magus build. I also have to ask because i have not found a way. Is there a way to get Instant armor palladin spell for my magus without duel classing? feat, item, add it to my spell book.

I would also like to add rage to my magus to make a full armor shield casting, Bastard sword wielding barbarian wantabe. I think being about to cast and fight in melee will be sweet. I am also looking for role playing aspects if any one has those ideas as well.

I am thinking something akind to a Deathknight. Cone of cold. Just looking to get some ideas rolling. I would like to stick to a single class and maybe a single PRC if there are good reasons for it.

I would also like to add that I think the Duelist sword would be cool too.

Spell wise i think Summon weapon, Instant armor, and shadow weapon should be magus spells. Being able to summon armor, weapons would be a cool RPG effect for a magus if nothing else.

Well, there is a spell called Mage Armor you might have heard of... (Magi don't get it naturally but you can spend a Magus Arcana on it.) Since it's divine, Mystic Past Life (the Samsaran ability) won't get it for you, so you might be out of luck. Keep in mind that Magi get medium armor at 7th and heavy armor at 13th naturally.

If you're doing Barbarian, it would have to be urban barbarian, since you can't otherwise rage and cast spells at the same time.

On the barbarian area I was just going to use the Extra Arcana to get the rage spell, cast and slash kind of thing.
