Ok, so, I have an idea for a character, but I'm running into a lot of walls. I would appreciate your guys' help on this.
Essentially, a dude's wife got turned into mundane thing (rock, feather, something) and now, he has to either make the person who did this undo it, or find an answer himself.
Part of me was thinking I could utilize her as an arcane focus or something, turn her into an amulet or ring, and go base wizard, but I want something a little outside the box.
I was also thinking of feather attached to a sword, take ewp - temple sword, and go magus, but I'm not sure how well that'd work as a tripping bladebound.
Really, the only thing I'm trying to do is make a viable build around an awakened item, but the possibilities are a bit much.
Anywho, what ideas do you guys have? Any thoughts?

Go Constructed Pugilist brawler and make her your grappling hook arm. (warning: spoilers from games that no one played).
Question- why are you going for a trippling magus? Magus is a nice class and all, but maneuvers are not something it is really good at (3/4 classes tend to need specific builds to make those work- alchemists with tentacles are great at it).
Otherwise, as an image, the sword thing is fine. Maybe make her a lace ribbon on the sword.
Steelbound Fighter gets a sentient weapon, as well. You can stack it with the Adventurer Guide Lore Warden archetype and get Swords Secrets as you level and the sentient weapon levels, too. This makes him a non magic user, so it's harder for him to solve the problem himself.
You could go with a familiar or an animal companion, too. She was turned into a raven instead of a rock, sort of thing.
Maybe a helmet, and she's a voice in his head.
You two were on your honeymoon when vampire showed up, and for whatever reason he tore her soul out of her body and stuck it in your left hand.
You are now a vampire hunter and she is your possessed hand, since you have to be a vampire hunter to take those technique feats to get possessed hand.
Anyways, your life's mission is to find this vampire and either force him to undo what was done, or to kill him as revenge.
Spirit Binder Wizard archetype has a familiar that is actually the spirit of a loved one.
Nothing say that the familiar can't have an archetype either, so you could have it be a figment familiar, so it ends up just being your imagination.
Alternately any class (or any character with the right feats) that gets a familiar (although not technically the spirit binder, since it species animal or vermin) could take an Ioun Wyrd as a familiar. That give a lot more of the 'object' feel from your original post.
Using the wand wielder magus arcana and a wand of true strike will work very well if you want to go tripping, providing you get improved trip so you don't provoke AoOs.
The problem as a story hook though is that break enchantment isn't impossible to get hold of. You might have the cash to pay for a casting at 2nd level and there's a dozen or so classes that get access to it. Avoid a physical item unless it's a black blade or something, or else if the guy's simply delusional.

@lemeres - it was merely an example of how far outside of the box I'd like to go. I know there's a cleric archetype that grants a holy symbol as a divine focus, so I could do a small chain, use it as a part of a morningstar, and go from there. I mean, at this point, I'm just gathering ideas until something comes up.
That possessed hand bit though. I'll have to do that sometime. Nice one.
Go Constructed Pugilist brawler and make her your grappling hook arm. (warning: spoilers from games that no one played).Dude! The guy is married to his hand! A lot of gamer geeks end up that way I guess--
But I thought this was a character, not a player!
Yes, but this is the opposite of the normal situation- normally, you have the hand first, then you get emotionally attached. In this case, you are emotionally attached, then literally attached.
Feat: Possessed Hand - Since that evening the right have always been jealous of the left.

@Moonheart - its a possible path. I figure what id do is design her into a part of the weapon in some way, and then lore wise, magic through her would amplify the thing's power. I see what you're saying though.
@everyone else - you guys, haha. Yeah, i promise ill make that into a character at some point. However, still looking for more ideas. You guys are hilarious, though.
