This proposed class is a mesmer-like class designed to be flexible for all kinds of possibilities. In fact it's own weapon, the spell sword, is a ranged weapon using both attack skills and attack spells (count as a spell not an attack). While underpowered on it's own, it has great amounts of utility. Lastly it introduces a new form of spell: A fluctaution. Fluctuations act as hexes when cast on enemies, and enchantments when cast on allies. E.g. a fluctaution on an enemy would be removed with hex removal, on an ally enchant removal. For purposes of what type of spell was cast, they count as both an enchantment and a hex. Many of the Abberant's non-fluctuation spells target any player as well.

Spell-Sword Mastery: For every rank in Spell-Sword Mastery your Spell sword increases it's range and does more damage.
Obfuscations: you get the idea.
Twisted Casting: yadda yadda
