I want to play that class.

1. There are multiple ways to do that, depending on how you want the focus to be.

2. I like that kind of cinematic approach.

   I like quick, lethal warriors, lightly armored, who attack in a whirlwind of spells and acrobatic stunts.

   I’m probably not looking at a Wizard grimoire here, no “utility” spells.

   In D&D 4th the nearer thing was the Swordmage, and in Dungeon World I pulled something like that out multiclassing an Elf Warrior into Bard and Wizard, and working a lot on fictional positioning and world details and aspects.

3. I will look into it later.

5. Good, but with too many non fighting/informative moves and not enough on the “a flur of magic and steel” side ^^

6. Turns out, that concept is actually hard to do since this class wants to be good at so many things. I could do a great take on the SoM character but actual swordmage isn’t as easy since you would need to go into 3 different archetypes to make it good. 

   You could however just take 2 classes that make you really good at fighting and then take spellcasting in addition. 

   That works. But I am not sure if that is what you are looking for. 

   I could see taking the Arsenal class and reflavouring the arsenal as your spellbook/bag of trinkets. Than you could maybe do some neat things. 

   But Superawesome Swordmage – to broad of a concept in a way. 

   The freedom of specialties however would allow me to retry making a Swordmage specialty again – something that I couldn’t get to work as a CC. Not sure if that is a great idea though.
