If you stop fighter at 7th level you can access the 7th-level spell list. So if you want teleport, planeshift, delayed blast fireball, etc, you have to have 13 levels of wizard. If you go to fighter 7 you also get War Magic. In my book, access to those spells is worth a heck of a lot more than an ASI, but then again I like my EK to be a blending of fighter and wizard rather than a fighter with a dash of magic.Again, this is dependent on what you are going for. If you are taking more wizard than fighter than you really are going to want to use greenflame blade or booming blade along with War Magic to keep up good melee damage output. If you instead go more fighter than wizard you can get by with the fighter's 3 attacks after level 11.So I would definitely take a SCAG cantrip if you are going with more wizard than fighter, unless you want underwhelming damage. At that point you might as well just go bladesinger instead of EK (speaking purely mechanically, of course, since it might not be at all the flavor you are going for) and have full casting capability to go with your limited melee presence.</blockquote>
