So I could use the communities opinion/ruling on the matter.
Scenario:
Magus spends Arcana to apply Ghost Touch to his weapon. Spellstrikes an Incorporeal creature.
- Magus does not have Ectoplasmic Metamagic Feat
- Incorporeal creature is not affected by Ghostbane Dirge.
Situation:
One believes that the spell delivered through their weapon will gain the properties of Ghost Touch.
What I think:
The weapon will deal full damage against the incorporeal creature. The spell, if it is not a force effect, only deals half.
How would you rule this as?

I would rule the same way as you. Strangely, it appears that the incorporeal creature would be fully susceptible to critical hits (including spell critical) from a ghost touch weapon due to this line:
Incorporeal Subtype: An incorporeal creature has no physical body. An incorporeal creature is immune to critical hits and precision-based damage (such as sneak attack damage) unless the attacks are made using a weapon with the ghost touch special weapon quality. In addition, creatures with the incorporeal subtype gain the incorporeal special quality.
Strangely, Spellstrike would qualify as making the attack with a ghost touch weapon.
