Light Lance: Creates a soaring beacon of light.
-- this is described as a beam of light, so is flame blade, so are attacks with this weapon touch attacks or regular melee. And does damage go up with the levels like flameblade
-- also the Rule states about the lance working in one hand, does this trump the rule of the lance being a 2-handed weapon

School evocation [good, light] Level paladin 2
CASTING
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
EFFECT
Range personal
Effect lance of light
Duration 1 round + 1 round/level (D)
You create a glorious beam of brilliant radiance that acts as a +1 holy lance suitable for your size. You must have a free hand when casting the spell and, once you call the lance into being, you cannot switch it to another hand or put it down without prematurely ending the spell. As a standard action while holding a light lance, you can choose not to make an attack and instead hold the lance aloft as a beacon of light and truth, creating an area of bright light with a radius of 90 feet. If you choose to do this for one or more additional rounds the lance also casts a spear of brilliant light up into the sky that grows progressively more visible as it continues to climb toward the heavens. Under cover of night or other darkness, if nothing obstructs the beam, it becomes visible for an additional 2 miles during each round in which you continue to aim your lance skyward (2 miles in the second round, 4 miles in the third round, and so on).
Got that from the SRD. The attacks would be melee attacks and the damage would be as a +1 Holy Lance.

Lance
Benefit: A lance deals double damage when used from the back of a charging mount. While mounted, you can wield a lance with one hand.
Weapon Feature(s): reach
Also from the SRD
Lances are two handed weapons unless you use them mounted. Hope that helped.
you can also weild a lance for a creature 1 size larger than you with 2 hands at -2
why is that relevant ? a little feat called vital strike ;)
