Lets add some more the the pathfinder Swordmage-how about some arcana to block damage?
Magus Arcana:
Spell Block (su):the magus can spend 1 or more points from his arcane pool as part of a reaction due to damage on you or an ally in 30 feet and lose the ability to cast a spell whose level equals the number of points spent. For each point spent in this way roll a d6 and block that much damage. You must choose the number of spell points spent when the damage is announced but before the amount of damage is revealed.
