What, exactly, are the prerequisites for this feat? The wording seems a bit unclear on the prerequisites.
What is this 'weapon expertise' prerequisite? The only thing I can find by that name is the Samurai 3rd level ability. Is this really a prerequisite then, considering the named ability belongs to another class-this would also require a magus to be 15th level at a minimum to take this feat, after all. So, is this a typo or what?
My search-fu merely found one thread on this back in '11 that never quite got any definitive answer. However one poster did point out that one could interpret the wording as 'either the arcana, OR the quick draw feat, OR the samurai class feature' (reworded for simplicity's sake). I don't quite agree with the prerequisites being that easily satisfied, but the point was made and deserves at least some consideration. *shrug?*
So unless I'm missing something, and this feat is only meant for a 12 magus/3 samurai, and who spec'd for katana or wakizashi (given the wording of the samurai ability here, and the requirements of spellstrike/spell combat) then I do believe there is a typo in the prerequisites of this feat.
Thoughts? Answers?

Not quite. "The samurai can draw the selected weapon as a free action as if he had the Quick Draw feat." That's not the same as actually having the Quick Draw feat, which is listed separately under the prerequisites, so the samurai's class ability wouldn't alone satisfy it.
"As if" having the feat for the one weapon is not the same as having the actual feat, after all.
