Final Battle Rules Call

[Mr. Green]

I need some assistance on a specific rules call in the final battle. I know this will come up and I want to be prepared.

Carrion Crown:

The last fight is with of course a magus.

So Let me paint the Picture

AA: Uses Spell Combat to attack suffering a -2 to all attack rolls.

Move Action: Moves up to PC
Standard Action: Spell Combat
--> Concentration Check DC 19 (Casting Intensified Shocking Grasp)
--> Makes Spell Strike Roll To hit = Misses
--->Makes Normal Roll to hit = Hit (Does Shocking Grasp go off?)

Other Sceniero
AA Knows the PC's are own their way to him, he prepares by casting a Frigid Touch spell and Holding the Charge.

Charcters Show up, Initive
AA Goes Uses Normal Combat and Rolls to hit and Hits
Does Frigid touch go off?

I guess what I'm saying is there is a great deal of debating on how spell strike works of does not work.

1. Can A magus hold a charge if he uses spell strike and misses?
2. Do Touch spells that provide multiple charges work with a magus and the spellstrike feature?
3. Can A magus hold a charge to use with spellstrike later?
4. When using just the spell strike feature can a magus Cast the spell, Move, Make a melee attack?

I think that the final battle should be climatic and I really don't want to ruin the flavor by not using the rules correctly I would dearly love some official feedback, or a reference to some rules to understand these feature with out debate from my players.

Spoiler:

Spell combat is a full-round action, not a standard action. So, he'd have to run up and cast it in their face, provoking an attack of opportunity, to do that.

Frigid touch does go off.

1. Yes

2. Yes
3. Yes
4. No-- but he can cast the spell, move, and make a touch attack, as per the rules of touch attack spells.

If the PCs begin to doubt your rulings, shout "I'm the #%@!ing GM! and throw your coke at them. No, but really, this is how it works. Just don't try to use Spell Combat as a standard action again.
