Ok, I know some will say "ABUSE" but this idea came to me for a wizard's weapon. I would have little problem with it for a non gish spellcaster, a gish one I would have to really consider for but here is the idea
Weapon +1 Training (Arcane Strike). Total cost 8150+Weapon. Obviously as the character advances levels it becomes more and more powerful for less cost
Level
1-4 +2 (0 savings)
5-9 +3 (saves 10k)
10-14 +4 (Saves 24k)
15-20 +5 (saves 42k)
However a spell caster should not be in melee if they can help it. Yes VERY ABUSABLE for a Magus or other GISH

Arcane strike only adds a damage bonus, and does not help to overcome damage reduction like an honest enhancement bonus would. Most characters who would benefit from this enchantment are more in need of the to hit bonus, in my experience.
And don't forget that arcane strike takes a swift action to activate for one round, this bungles up many magus and such tactics.
