Magus play test had it's problems but was imo undeniably more interesting of a class overall in terms of expression and creativity.
Right more runesmith has that, but we are at risk of flattening it and turning it into another Magus.
Reactive strike is annoying, yes the class needs better codification and rules phrasing.
But let's not accidentally flatten this class?
I still think giving invoke a flourish trait would solve majority of it's short term burst damage. Tracing lasts until the end of your next turn. If there is still an issue, it's in some of the feats, not the base cost of invoking and tracing.
Reactive strike is annoying, so is it's awkward early ranged support. If your going to lock it's ranged action compression to once a combat, just remove it.
But for reactive strike you still have legendary class DC scaling and can rune from range with better return than a magus throwing cantrips from range or burning a very limited spell slot.
That class is objectively strong and rewards creative players. When it's officially released it would be nice if it was still strong and still rewarded creativity.
