So I ran into a question about spellstrike while making a Magus character. Suppose the following situation:
Cast something like chill touch or Frostbite. Spellstrike lets you deliver that touch attack through your weapon. Now, you have several charges left over. Do theses:
A: go away (the spellstrike feature only give you 1 melee attack)
B: give you charges that can only be used up with normal touch attacks
C: until the charges are used up every time you hit with that wepon the effect applies.
D: as C but only 1 attack/round was charged
Which way is the correct way to do it?

Did the Magus of 2nd level cast the spell? Does it have a range of "touch"? Did the spell come from the Magus spell list?
If so, he can deliver the spell through a melee attack.
In the case of Chill Touch, the spell grants multiple touches, so each of those touches can be delivered through a weapon.
Spellstrike lets you 1) Deliver the spell through a weapon, and 2) Use a weapon with the free touch attack granted by casting a touch spell. The second line is in addition to the first.
