Spellsword Builds

What are some good ways to build a spellsword?

Anything that can stealth around and set traps passably well would be a godsend.

It's dispel bait but dex based and benefits from fine elven boots and a displacer beast cloak. Can reach 60 AC, 70 with Improved Expertise, 9/10 APR with double spellsword imbues on a quarterstaff. High int means you have plenty of skill points. Also gets level 9 spells and a pixie familiar for opening locks and disarming traps. Can solo most PVE content and is good for PVP. This is probably the best spellsword build out there now but it could be nerfed again in the future due to monk dips and quarterstaff being overpowered so be warned.

Looks interesting, I'll keep it in mind. Doesn't gain access to trapping or sneak attacks which I was really looking for thematically, but does gain access to discipline/Spellcraft/hide/move silently/tumble with spellcasting. Definitely cool.
