How can I max my haunted lore oracle's effectiveness?

[Kaim]

I have an Aasimar haunted lore oracle and I want to max his effectiveness but I'm not sure what route to take
He's NG with desna as his deity and I've taken lore keeper to apply his CHA modifier to knowledge checks instead of INT. As of lvl.2 I have the following:
STR 10
DEX13
Con10
INT 15
wis16
CHA19
With the favored class option I chose the skill point which gave me a rank in diplomacy, all knowledges, perception, and spellcraft. As an Aasimar I get +2 on my diplomacy and perception checks. For my first level feat I took improved initiative. And my spell list includes ghost sound, mage hand, detect magic, guidance, resistance, read magic, cure light wounds, sanctuary, karmic blessing, and identify. And my traits and drawback are Ambitious, greater purpose, sacred touch, and my drawback is headstrong. Is there anything I should keep in mind as I level or prestige classes I should think about heading towards?

I find focused trance to be among the BEST lore revelations.

You are a knowledge guy. now you get +20 to them MANY times a day.

Dual cursed is fantastic with misfortune if you can fit it in. The immediate action gives you some control outside your turn to support and aid the party.

I considered that for my next revelation and then probably brain drain or automatic writing

I already have my build and I'm really enjoying my mystery and curse stuff.

What I don't understand about this character is:

What do you do when combat starts? You have no way to physically fight effectively (a crossbow is your only option and it's not a great one) and your spells have zero combat application except maybe Cure Light Wounds.

I mean, Karmic Blessing? Seriously? A spell slot to give someone a +3 to a skill check for a few seconds? And only if they took ranks in a skill that was not, in fact, a class skill? Why?

Pathfinder is mostly a combat game. You're going to be bored if you can't do anything during a combat. Murderous Command is an awesome 1st level--maybe give that a shot. Or a least Command. Bless to buff the party? Something?

If this is one of those rare games that comes along every once in a while where people use D&D to play a game with little to no combat, feel free to ignore the above advice, but please, allow me to suggest looking at the roughly 7816487149 other roleplaying games out there that handle non-combat stuff better than D&D, since the D&D skill system is pretty tacked on and is easily the weakest part of the game's rules.
