5e eldritch knight guide 2019

D&D occasionally uses "eldritch" as a simple synonym for "arcane". The Eldritch Knight originates in D&D 3rd edition. The earliest appearance is the D&D 3.5 Dungeon Master's Guide (2003), where it was used as a kind of generic patch prestige class to make fighter/wizard or fighter/sorcerer multiclassing feasible.

So only those 1-4 spells can come from any Wizard school. All the other spells they choose have to come from Abjuration or Evocation. This is a bug in the system. In fact, in the Errata: PLayer's Handbook v2.0 (2018) is specifically Don't forget that once you hit Level 7 Eldritch Knight and pick up War Magic, you have the option to cast a melee cantrip for an attack and then make a bonus action normal melee attack each round, for a bit more damage than just the normal Attack + Extra Attack.
