[RPG] Can a Magus use Spellstrike and Spell Combat with spells prepared with other class slots

maguspathfinder-1e

Let's assume we have a Magus 2/Wizard 10 who wants to cast Vampiric Touch spell on an opponent. The character has prepared the spell using one of the Wizard spell slots. The description of Spell Combat and Spellstrike only requires that the spell is on the Magus spell list – which it is. (Failing that, we can assume the spell is being cast using Broad Study magus arcana, though that would elevate Magus level requirement to 6).

Can a Magus use Spellstrike and Spell Combat to deliver Vampiric Touch prepared with Wizard's slot?

Best Answer

First, an official source: Magus, Spell Combat: What spells can I cast when using spell combat?

The spell you cast when using spell combat has to be a magus spell you know, and it must be a magus spell prepared with one of your magus spell slots.

It's pretty clear: you can't.

About broad study:

(Other magus abilities may modify what spells can be used with spell combat. For example, the broad study magus arcana explicitly states the magus can use spell combat to cast spells from the selected non-magus spellcasting class.)

This is less clear, but it seems to say that you can use your vampiric touch with wizard slots.
