As the title. I'm planning a Medium (built for combat) in an upcoming game and am considering the Magus VMC, primarily for the Arcane Pool. I plan to use it almost exclusively for powering up my weapon (I plan to keep it at +1 with weapon properties for the whole game), so having 1/2 (level - 2) points (I have an int of 10, so no bonus points there) is okay. Spellstrike is kind of useless (the Medium is a spontaneous 4th-caster, and I'm going to be picking utility stuff), so I might ask my DM if I can replace it with another arcana.

Regardless, I'm looking for arcana that would be useful (especially useful outside of combat) on a character with 10 Intelligence and no combat spells. I'm pretty sure that I want Familiar and Bounding Step, but I'm not sure about the third one. Any suggestions are welcome.

You might be able to get some use out of Ranger Traps (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/magus/magus-arcana/paizo---magus-arcana/ranger-trap)
