So he makes a melee attack and does 5D6(shocking grasp)+ 1d8+2(+1 elven thin Blade+str bonus)+2d6(flaming+frost), then gets to make his normal Melee attack 1D8+2 +2d6(flaming+frost), for a grand total of 9d6+2d8+4! which i find to be a lot of Damage, and he can do this round after round.  I read the rules for magus and at first i thought he could not make the second attack and we got into a huge fight over it and frankly I blew my top and he left.  Then after reading the rules several more time i realized he could!!. on top of all that his AC after casting shield on himself is 25 which is five points higher then anyone else.  Here's the problem no one else in the group is near this powerful, its difficult for me to build encounters to challenge him with out slaughtering everyone else.this guy is a good friend of mind but i'm afraid our play styles are incompatible.I do plan on apologizing to him for blowing up at him about the rules.  I just couldn't believe how powerful that class was. I don't know what to do..any advice would be helpfulThanks</blockquote>
