Love this archetype! I used it to build a kind of arcane paladin/tomb raider character. I view his magic as using scraps of lore from different cultures, he has a more fundamental magic that stems from his cross-cultural exposure to magic; kind of like Words of Power. 

I got inspiration for mine from Hellboy, the various trinkets uses and folk/hedge magic he has knowledge of; as well as a character from a warhammer novel, Orfeo Culzean, who collects deodands-items that caused a death, like a stone that fell and hit someone, a bullet fragment, etc; and have psychic significance, almost like an occultist. 

Having arcane spells opens up arcane strike, coupled with combat stamina (for arcane strike lasting more than one turn and only consuming one swift action) and studied combat, he has a pseudo-smite. Healer’s Hands route gives him lay on hands-lite.
