Which archetype you go with will largely depend on your secondary attribute. Magus is either str or dex as their primary. This means they have some flexibility in choosing int, wis, or cha as their secondary, with some preference towards int as it does improve your spell DC for any spells that require a save (though you generally want to using spellstrike with spells that require an attack roll). Wis is universally better than Cha unless you are playing the party face.

RAW, yes, this would work even with the legacy Magus. RAI, no, this would still not work as the prerequisite is generally understood to mean you have a class with full spell progression, I.e., three spell slots per rank at even levels.

Are you going to be playing with the remastered Magus from Impossible Magic that just dropped? If so, they get improved spell progression (no longer bounded), so the lack of spell slots is less of an issue.

What other options do you have available? I’ve heard investigator can work well, essentially letting you time your spell strikes for when you know they’ll crit.

Psychic used to be the go to, but changes to imaginary weapon and amp spells in general have made it less optimal.
