So, I am sure I remember correctly there was a feat, that allowed a mage to know 1 lvl 2 spell, and be able to cast it 1/day, and when you can eventually cast lvl 2 spells, it becomes an additional slot for any spell. And the spell becomes a normal part of the spells known list.

I just can't remember where it's hiding, what book etc. Anybody?

Precocious Apprentice, from Complete Arcane.

Prerequisite: Spellcasting ability (Int or Cha) 15, arcane caster level 1st.

Benefit: Choose one 2nd-level spell from a school of magic you have access to. You gain an extra 2nd-level spell slot that must be used initially to cast only the chosen spell. Until your level is high enough to allow you to cast 2nd-level spells, you must succeed on a DC 8 caster level check to successfully cast this spell; if you fail, the spell is miscast to no effect. Your caster level with the chosen spell is your normal caster level, even if this level is insufficient to cast the spell under normal circumstances.

When you become able to cast 2nd-level spells, you lose the benefit described above but retain the extra 2nd-level spell slot, which you can use to prepare or spontaneously cast a spell of 2nd level or lower as you normally would.

Finally, you gain a +2 bonus on all Spellcraft checks.

Special: You can take this feat only as a 1st level character.

After looking at the feats found what you where talking about. Was going to go full grapple and touch attack instead of infinite +1 health/turn as a standard action. Better action economy.

Well, I also see you have a sword sage. How about arcane sword sage variant?

For what it's worth, my character is already a pretty arcane-flavored Swordsage.
