Swordmage. Not the most common class, but having both swords and magic is fun, especially when you blend them. Slicing through the enemy like butter with a flaming sword, then freezing their soul with an icy stab, cutting through time and/or space itself, being at one with your blade so you can summon it on a whim, that kind of stuff.

Woah, now that`s a class I am not familar with... which game has that class??? It sounds really cool! : D

Dungeons and Dragons, 4th Edition : )

 

No game has done the concept quite so well as there, but Dokapon Kingdom (essentially Mario Party RPG) had something similar, and lots of games have swordsman who can cast spells. Almost none truly capture the idea of a true magical swordsman for whom the sword itself is the implement of magic and their entire concept is around doing magic with the sword itself.

Oh man, D&D... It's so great! xD AND you know Dokapon??? Maaaan! Are you talking about the Spellsword class? The story takes forever to complete, but Dokapon is really fun to play.

Hmm, from your definition of it, it kind of sounds like you're describing a spell fencer from Bravely Default. They can cast spell effects to their weapons, such as an element, silence, sleep, and so on. It sounds like an uncommon class, but a cool at that : )
