Mythic Contingency and Personal Spell?

[Ishyna]

Contingency:

You can place another spell upon your person so that it comes into effect under some condition you dictate when casting contingency. The contingency spell and the companion spell are cast at the same time. The 10-minute casting time is the minimum total for both castings; if the companion spell has a casting time longer than 10 minutes, use that instead. You must pay any costs associated with the companion spell when you cast contingency.

The spell to be brought into effect by the contingency must be one that affects your person and be of a spell level no higher than one-third your caster level (rounded down, maximum 6th level).

The conditions needed to bring the spell into effect must be clear, although they can be general. In all cases, the contingency immediately brings into effect the companion spell, the latter being "cast" instantaneously when the prescribed circumstances occur. If complicated or convoluted conditions are prescribed, the whole spell combination (contingency and the companion magic) may fail when triggered. The companion spell occurs based solely on the stated conditions, regardless of whether you want it to.

Mythic Contingency:

You can cast this spell on yourself or another willing creature as if the spell had a range of touch. A companion spell placed on another creature must be a spell from you, not from the creature, and affects that creature when triggered. The target can have only one contingency spell upon it at a time unless it also knows mythic contingency.

The question is: Can the companion spell used with Mythic Contingency be a "Personal" range spell when cast on another person?

My opinion is no - I think Mythic Contingency only changes the Contingency range from Personal to Touch, not the Companion Spell. The target of the companion spell would be invalid and couldn't be cast. I think Mythic Contingency only changes the Contingency range from Personal to Touch.

Some of my players argue that the Companion Spell is part of the casting of Contingency (which is touch).

Anyone know anything we don't? =)

My first inclination would be to say no, but contingency can be combined with spells that are normally illegal when cast (such as raise dead on self) so you could definitely combine mythic contingency with a personal spell. Depending on how the DM reads it though, the personal spell may fizzle when the contingency casts it, since its not a legal target (so you'd be able to cast the mythic contingency with a personal spell on someone else, but when it triggered the spell would target an illegal target and fizzle)

I think this means that it counts as you casting the spell on that creature. So personal spells would still be illegal, since you can't do that.

However, I could also see it just being a restriction that you need to cast the spell, not allow someone else to do so.
