I am kinda seeing them go mostly melee with magical bursts, say as you strike and do your combo you build up power within your weapon (Rapier preferably) that upon completion or activation say burning those charges for a flame tip to increase potency of each attack by 20 (or whatever is acceptable) for the remainder of its charge or say picking another element to add splash damage to your strikes that hit enemies close or around you. Though I will admit the idea of stance dancing from Casting to Melee and back also has my interest.
