Spell Combat (Ex): At 1st level, a magus learns to cast spells and wield his weapons at the same time. This functions much like two-weapon fighting, but the off-hand weapon is a spell that is being cast. To use this ability, the magus must have one hand free (even if the spell being cast does not have somatic components), while wielding a light or one-handed melee weapon in the other hand. As a full-round action, he can make all of his attacks with his melee weapon at a –2 penalty and can also cast any spell from the magus spell list with a casting time of 1 standard action (any attack roll made as part of this spell also takes this penalty). ...
Spellstrike (Su): At 2nd level, whenever a magus casts a spell with a range of “touch” from the magus spell list, he can deliver the spell through any weapon he is wielding as part of a melee attack. Instead of the free melee touch attack normally allowed to deliver the spell, a magus can make one free melee attack with his weapon (at his highest base attack bonus) as part of casting this spell. If successful, this melee attack deals its normal damage as well as the effects of the spell.
Spell Combat allows me to do a melee attack AND cast a spell as a full round action. Spellstrike lets me deliver my touch spells using my weapon INSTEAD OF my hand (the FREE MELEE ATTACK referenced above). So, it seems to say, that as a 2nd level Magus I can deliver a normal melee attack using my weapon AND a touch spell attack using my weapon as one full round action. CORRECT? (I do take a -2 penalty on each attack however as part of spell combat and would still have to take a defensive concentration check on the spellstrike or be subject to attack of opportunity... but that is how I read these abilities.) OR I can just do the one melee attack at normal attack bonus with the added bonus that I can cast a touch attack spell through the weapon..
Am I reading this wrong? Is it now that I have a choice on how to apply the penalty depending on how I choose to cast the spell?
