5e Freelancer
This was the spell list I chose to give my Arcknight class (no, I didn't give them cantrips. I have an Arcane Warrior fighting style for that, as well as a Battlemage subclass):Gonna try my hand at making a list because I think a lack of a spell list is the biggest thing holding the class design back.
Looking at already-made weapon/martial-feel spells we have (this list will be incomplete, feel free to comment on spells I miss), not including utility spells since 'balance' is more of a combat thing than anything else:
Cantrips
Blade Ward
Booming Blade
Green-Flame Blade
Lightning Lure (doesn't mention a weapon in the 5e ability but feels melee-focused and was a 4e swordmage at-will power)
Primal Savagery
Shillelagh
Sword Burst (same boat as Lightning Lure)
