I'd rule that no, you couldn't deliver the snowball via the spellstrike gloves. I also wouldn't consider it that good of a spell for a magus, unless you really need something with range. Frostbite and Shocking Grasp make much better level 1 magus spells.

That's the conclusion I came to as well, thanks for providing confirmation.

Hopefully this doesn't count as a necro-post, but I have a question that will affect my build, and I've seen worse offenders on this forum, so I thought I'd ask away. Also bear with me, I haven't played a TT RPG since 2nd edition (dating myself here, aren't I) so if I get something wrong, let me know.

All that said, my question is does snowball actually work with Spellstrike gloves, or is this another "try to convince your GM to let you..." situation? Spellstrike gloves specifically say that created effects can't be used with the gloves, and since snowball is a conjuration (creation), with an effect (rather than a target) of creating a ball of snow and ice, it would seem that snowball doesn't qualify. This just seems to me to be RAW, and most GM's I've ever played with don't bend RAW on something that appears this cut and dry. Additionally, Snowball needs 2 standard actions to be used (the first to cast, and the second to conduct the ranged touch attack), so assuming using it with spellstrike gloves is out, would it still be a good spell for a Magus?

Thanks in advance.
