+15 while casting defensively so you suceede on level 1 spells on everything but a 1 which can be further mitigated by taking a -1 when doing spell combat. Also took Concentrate Arcana to make sure the level 2 spells can get cast in a pinch. It's a lot of resources to make the concentration high enough where I felt comfortable (trait, 2 feats, plus the arcana as the backup) but worth it I feel.
Damage seems decent even against those immune to precision due to spell backup. The dip into Magus helps shore up Fortitude and Will saves since Charmed Life isn't an option with the stats he has.
