Later on, when the magus class debuted, there was some confusion about whether its <a href="https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/Base-Classes/Magus/#spell_combat_ex" target="_blank">spell combat</a> ability worked with haste. This was solved with a <a href="https://paizo.com/paizo/faq/v5748nruor1fz#v5748eaic9qhe" target="_blank">FAQ</a>.That doesn't look to me as though the game was written under the presumption that some specific buffs would be used, so much as it was clearing up a minor point of confusion for a new class. Likewise, that it allows for that buff to be used seems to me to be less about the underlying math and more about not being needlessly punitive toward a particular ability because of some wording issues.</blockquote>
