Lucious is right. I don't mind it if you go full Electromage and only use energy based spells, but enhanced speed and strength.... Those aren't Arcane spells. Those are clerical or paladin spells. Or in Malkai's situation druid spells too.

Actually such spells like Cat's Grace or Bull Strength are Sorcerer/Wizard spells. But looking over his CS myself, it looks like his special abilities are suppose to also grant him parrying abilities or some sort and deflect/catch arrows, which themselves are things that require at least two/three feats to do. It could be assumed that at some point he was taught something along the lines of Improved Unarmed Strike, Deflect Arrows which are two feats, and then Catch Arrows for three.

Also the closest thing to what he wants as a spell-like ability is Time Stop, which is a 9th level spell. To put into perspective how powerful a 9th level spell is, the spell Wish is also a 9th level spell, which can be best [url=http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Wish]examined yourself[/url].

While I know you aren't keeping track of gameplay mechanics, assuming he has this spell that would imply he's at least 18th level, which is strong enough to contest against the likes of demigods and legendary monsters. Keep in mind the usual level cap is 20.

I get that spellcasters tend to completely stomp noncasters at higher level, but let's not get too OP from the gate. Magic has it's uses, but poor Catarina is going to feel completely useless if even the martially untrained sorcerer is better at parrying than she is.
