Touch Spells - how can you even cast them?

[Immaculate]

I've had no problems with touch spells when the range and target is appropriate. I've used that immolation spell quite a bit. I think you have to be sure that 1) your caster is immune to the appropriate element and 2) your caster is in range.

I know the caelum eagle kings are regularly used to deliver shockwaves by scripting attack then the shockwave spell (though have never done it myself).

You should be able to script "resist fire", "attack", "immolation", "immolation", "immolation" and have it work (if the caster can fly- if not they might still be out of range and you'll have to consider that). never tried burning hands... it just makes me think of putting my hand on a hot frying pan- doesn't sound that threatening. Who would cast such a spell and under what circumstances?

You only need to be immune to lightning for the shockwave. Not all touch spells affect the caster. Poison touch doesnt posion the caster.

Besides instead of scripting these your mages automatically cast them when nexto to the enemy. (if they think thats the most damaging spell available). Thus, they are not useless.
