All right, so I'm interested in a non-traditional Magus.

I'm currently playing a skillmonkey ninja, but I'm interested in doing something more battlefield control-y next character, and I'm wondering if anyone has tried:

A lasso or net based magus. Entangle someone from afar, spellstrike/shocking grasp through the net/lasso. I can't be the only one who's thought of this.

That, or dual wielding nine-section whips, but I'm curious if I could spellstrike through dualwielded weapons?

Anyway, my party is already very combat-centric, so I'd like a non-combat role while still being useful in combat - how would you build this?

Open to other ideas :)
