Magus + spell combat + spell strike + two-handed grip?

[Buba HoTep]

Can a magus take advantage of the above combo?

No. You can cast, then Spellstrike with a 2-handed grip, but Spell Combat requires a free hand.

So by what you're saying it's basically the same result;

1st rnd: Cast spell (chill touch, shocking grasp etc.), take sword with just-cast-a-spell-hand two-handed and use spell strike.

Read what spell combat do. It is not the same thing at all.

You could spell combat on round one, miss with your spell attack and have a charge ready on round two then you could spell strike your held charge on round two with a two handed grip. But you could not spell combat in round two after that swing.

You can:

1) declare spell combat
2) make all the attacks allowed by your combat routine, your held charge(s) will discharge with the successful attacks using only 1 hand;
3) if you wish, cast your spell. doing that will discharge all the remaining held charges.

As you say, if you use a 2 handed grip you can't use spell combat.
