So a different or additional motion with the weapon is required for the component, then touch the foe?

I apologize for the misuse of "deliver", I didn't mean to imply that the harm spell was stored. The intention was to fulfill the somatic component of harm by hitting a foe with the weapon as the first action in the round, effectively hitting with the sword and casting at the same time.

I suppose by action mechanics the spell casting action and the striking action would still be separate actions. The spell can't become a 0-cost action, right?

Reading the rules for somatic casting on pg. 196 and then emblazon weapon on pg. 122 got me thinking about action economy.

If I strike a foe with a weapon that has the emblazon weapon effect on it, does this fulfill the somatic component of a touch spell, such as harm? If so then could it then be cast as part of the melee attack without consuming an action? It would need a separate attack using spell attack to hit I imagine.

I'm not sure if this combo is intended or not, or if I have missed another rule to prevent a 0 action spell cast.
