Otherwise you could just take the fighter and wizard and alternate levels, and have the same levels of of spellcasting as a 1/2 level magus class. (Or the eldritch knight and wizard, at a 3:1 ratio, which would also be effectively half level but have more hit points.)So it really needs to DO something that a wizard or fighter cannot. The easiest way to brainstorm those kind of abilities is to look at the planned flavour and stories: what type of characters will take this class, and what stories are they trying to tell? What archetypes is it invoking from literature?</blockquote>
