What's the purpose of Human Potential? Why would you cast it over any of the animal stats? This has to be the most useless spell in Pathfinder

Battering Blast adds an extra ball of force for every 5 caster levels you possess beyond 5th.

Do you have to make a separate touch attack for each new ball of force a la Scorching Ray or is it only one for the entire batch?

As a separate question, if you were to intensify Battering Blast and you have a caster level of 10, do you receive another ball of force that does 7d6 damage or 5d6 damage?

It's not mentioned whether or not Psychic Strike (from Psychic bloodline acclaim) is mind-affecting, does that mean it can affect the undead and other such monsters

Further questions-

So, just to confirm, if I take Natural Spell Combat (Claw), I can use it as part of the full attack but NOT as the Spell Strike?

Do you still get your bite even if you don't have Natural Spell Combat- not to channel your Frostbite, but as part of your full attack during Spell Combat?

If you polymorph into a creature with more arms, can you use them to channel the spell with Natural Spell Combat? Can you use them as part of the full attack during Spell Combat like the bite example from above?

So, apologies if this has been asked before or already FAQ'd, I've looked around but the threads I've found are still a tad confusing. I'm trying to figure out how Spell Strike and Spell Combat work with natural attacks.

So, say Bob the 4th level Magus transforms with a polymorph spell into a creature with several secondary attacks, 2 claws and a bite. Bob also has a rapier. Bob would like to use his Spell Combat Spell Strike to attack with Frostbite. Now, the questions are:

How does Bob attack? Is it two attacks with his rapier followed up with a claw and a bite? Two attacks with his rapier followed up with two claws and a bite? Something else?

Does he get to channel his frostbite through his claw attacks as well? Considering that his off hand is free when casting, is he even able to make those claw attacks at all? Would he need the Natural Spell Combat arcana for that? Or does he have to decide to use either his Rapier or his claws to be the channel and is unable to do it through both?

Why bother specifying that this only happens for Bards and Sorcerers when there are plenty of other spontaneous casters?

But does it increase the casting time for Sacred Geometry? It only mentions Bards and Sorcerers- if a Cleric or Druid applies it to a spell they cast spontaneously, do they increase the casting time as well?

If an Arcanist uses a Metamagic Rod or Sacred Geometry, are they treated as a Spontaneous Caster or a Prepared one- would he increase the time spent casting like a Sorcerer would?
