I know you've already decided against it, but Fateweaver would be better than the LoC HQ.

ML4, All Change Spells, all the other spells, he's simply an infinitely better gunboat than a LoC, and costs essentially the same once you've kitted out a LoC.

Saying it's "a much bigger threat" than FW does not make it so.

If you want to use it due to personal opinion, that's fine. It just isn't the best choice.

A LoC with Robes is a fine model, but it is not as good as FW, and can be one shot to a single unlucky wound if it fails a leadership check.

Make your own choice, recognizing it is a worse choice you're making due to personal decision is important, instead of trying to tell others it's better, when it is not.

Magnus has access to all the powers, and casts on a 2+, for sure. However, it's a force MULTIPLIER to have additional units that also have access to the same spells, allowing you to make use of your better, more important spells more often.

I can already tell based on your previous replies that you're going to continue to disagree, which is fine.

Play how you wish.

You can say "I want a melee unit, and am deciding to use a LOC for fluff reasons", but that is not the same as "I'm using a great melee unit for melee reasons", because what you're actually saying is "I am paying 280ish points for a t6, 5w model that I need to land to melee with, and could then likely die that turn to bolters if i'm not lucky".

Worth noting adepticon has un-nerfed invis though, yeah?

Makes Be'Lakor better in that format as a result.
