Equipment: +1 keen guided unarmed strike

The magus's spell combat and spell strike abilities function with spells from the magus spell list. The witch hunter's Spellbane functions like dispel magic, which is on its spell list. Thus you can channel Spellbane through an unarmed attack and dual-wield it with your normal attacks. In addition, whenever you hit with one of your attacks, Dispelling Fist lets you use Spellbane as a swift action. Whenever you successfully dispel something, Destructive Dispel means your opponent must make a Fort save or be stunned, or sickened if they succeed on the save. With Hamatulatsu whenever you score a critical hit with an unarmed strike your opponent becomes sickened automatically, or staggered if they are already sickened.

As a Soul Forger you can give your unarmed strike the Guided (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/magic-weapons/magic-weapons-non-core/weapon-property---guided) property, paying half cost since you're enchanting it yourself.
Alternatively, you can apply Guided to an amulet of mighty fists (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/a-b/amulet-of-mighty-fists) or take the Shrewd Strikes talent to use Wis instead of Str for attack rolls. Improved Critical can substitute for the keen property.

How is any of that accurate? Forgive me if I'm missing something, but Spellbane is a supernatural ability that function like one part of a spell, it isn't a spell, nor is it stated that it can be used in place of a spell for any purpose.

...the hell is up with me and PF builds?

Anyway, some of it is salvagable, like the magus dip.
