Evasion, Uncanny dodge, Inproved Uncanny dodge
these class features work like the rouge class features with the same name
Page 50-51 Players handbook or at http://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/rogue.htm
Ac Bouns
This works like the monk feature with the same name
Page 40-41 Players handbook or at http://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/monk.htm but it is based of Int iseed of of Wis, so she will add her Int bouns to her Ac

Quicken Spell (Su)
This Features allows the blade mage to cast any one spell she prepared as if the Quicken Spell feat had been applied to it, but the spell level dose not rise, this may be conbided with other Metamagic feats, as normal, note she may only use this class feature a certin amont for times per day per her level

A blade mage gets the dodge feat as a bouns feat at 1st level, she need not select it

Wepon Proficients
The Blade Mage is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, but no amour

I...errr...can't...There really isn't much to break. It doesn't really make a good 1 level dip, since the quicken ability is limited to only Blademage spells. Maybe a little Versatile Spellcaster shananigans, but thats hardly OP. I would take a 4-5 level jaunt into Abjurant Champion with this at some point, though. The lack of higher level spells prevents it from really going crazy, and you can't even pull off any Sublime Chord shananigens like you can with a Bard. If you try to combine it too much with something like Ultimate Magus, you lose out on the class features but are still stuck with the gimped casting, so that doesn't work. I really got no idea...

I mean, don't get me wrong, 2 Glitterdusts a round at 4th level is fun and all, but that burns you out of resources SUPER fast.

I'd play this, but its certainly not very breakable.

I'd add some form of spell channeling though, like a Duskblade or Spellsword.

I'd say it's a little weak. It looks worse than the Duskblade in about every way, and the extra Quicken Spell uses does little to compensate, since the Duskblade can just save actions by channeling his spells. This needs a boost...perhaps spell channeling, perhaps more spells per day (again...look at the Duskblade).

Not really...the Duskblade is actually a pretty solid tier 3 class...and may actually be towards the upper end of that tier.
