ARCANE TRICKSTER/DAGGERSPELL MAGE: & now the smart way to make this character:

This is something I came up with on the fly at the request of FE. I still made it a close range support specialist, just like the arcane trickster. It has much better hit points, but I would go into melee WITH CAUTION. If you want to go into melee, a maxed out escape artist skill is a must, or a ring of freedom of movement, since a successful grapple against this character will take him down very quickly. Returning daggers are a must for this character to exploit its full effectiveness. IF conditions are right, by the end of this character build, one should be able to do somewhere between 18-24d6 sneak attack with a full ranged attack of thrown daggers (& 2 weapon fighting) after wraithstrike is cast, not to mention also the spells being channeled through the daggers. Other advantages include two outstanding saving throws, lots of skill points, versatility of being a wizard, etc. Anyway, here's the character build:
