First of all, thanks to Imbicatus who put me onto this build.
Originally I made this build for PFS but after running Carrion Crown this build would EXCEL. Too bad I've already run it for my group, I'm really curious on how it would do.
Anyway, I gave her the backstory for CC if anybody wants to read it, but can easily fit into PFS. Meet Illyana. Force Fighter extraordinaire with a pathological hatred for all things incorporeal

There she is! What do people think? Any advice to give? I tried to make her so she's not like the average Kenzsai Dancing Dervish Magus out there.
Anybody? I think it looks nice!
All that strength and no power attack? Spiritual weapon and ally, but no Toppling Spell?
On spells, you likely want spirit-bound blade. Force sword is likely redundant; resist energy for more defence or stricken heart as another attack spell might be good.

Perfect! Thank you. I knew I was missing some things. I was shying away from Metamagic feats as I didn't want to waste a full round on Spells. But I forgot about Toppling. Good call.
Power attack, at 3/4 BAB I didn't want to take another penalty to the attack. And my spells will help with DMG.
Force sword, I thought was thematically appropriate, plus I like the idea of giving a fighter a longsword and say go to town, but a scroll should work for that. I'll swap it for the stricken heart spell.
Much appreciated. Anybody else?
