Touching multiple targets

[Giant Shoe]

I've been playing tabletop RPG's for years but I'm still somewhat new to pathfinder. Am I correct in understanding that a spell such as cure light wounds, with a range of touch, can be used to heal up to six friends with one cast of the spell, as a full round action? or is the touch spell discharged on the first friend touched?

http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/combat.html under actions in combat says that you can "Use a touch spell on up to six friends" as a full round action. is that ANY touch spell, or just specific touch spells that say something like Range: multiple touch, or something to that effect?

it seems like healing and buffing spells would be vastly more powerful if you could cast them on your entire party instead of on a single friend.

No.

Touch: "Some touch spells allow you to touch multiple targets. You can touch up to 6 willing targets as part of the casting, but all targets of the spell must be touched in the same round that you finish casting the spell. If the spell allows you to touch targets over multiple rounds, touching 6 creatures is a full-round action."

Since Cure light wounds doesn't specify that you can touch them as part of the casting, you can't. It also doesn't specify that you can touch targets over multiple rounds, so you can't do that, either.

fastest response EVER! tyvm for answering this question for me. i dont suppose you could give me an example of a spell that DOES allow you to touch multiple targets in its casting so i can show my players and avoid the flak when i tell them that they cant bulls strength all 6 characters with 1 cast, or heal the entire party with cure moderate wounds.

Water Breathing

School transmutation; Level cleric 3, druid 3, sorcerer/wizard 3

Casting Time 1 standard action

Components V, S, M/DF (short reed or piece of straw)

Range touch

Target living creatures touched

Duration 2 hours/level; see text

Saving Throw Will negates (harmless); Spell Resistance yes (harmless)

The transmuted creatures can breathe water freely. Divide the duration evenly among all the creatures you touch. The spell does not make creatures unable to breathe air.
