Magus + River Whip or Centipede Whip AND Touch Attack Spells?


Rules Questions


Hey guys, Me again!

I was wondering if this is possible. I was just invited to a kingmake campaign and I was trying to choose between Ranger, Eldritch Knight, Magus, Cleric or Warpriest.

Riverwhip gives you touch to damage
Whip of Centipedes gives you touch to damage

Can you cast shocking grasp during spell combat
and deliver it through your whip
using the spells above that target touch AC?

For your reading convenience:

River Whip:
"You create a coil of flowing fresh water, functioning a whip appropriate for your size, except you make a melee touch attack instead of a regular attack."

Spider Whip
"ou summon hundreds of Diminutive spiders, which cling together in the form of a whip made for a creature of your size. You can wield this object as if it were an actual whip, except you make a melee touch attack with it instead of a regular attack. Any creature you strike with the whip takes swarm damage as if it were attacked by a spider swarm (1d6 points of damage plus poison and distraction). The swarm whip is able to damage creatures with armor or natural armor, even if a normal whip could not. "

In short, I am asking
can river whip and/or spider whip spells be used with the magic spellstrike ability?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!


Whip of Spiders: "You can wield this object as if it were an actual whip, except [things that aren't relevant to the question]"

River Whip: "functioning a whip appropriate for your size, except [things that aren't relevant to the question]".

So, yes. Also note that they aren't touch spells that disappear when you cast something else, nor do they provide a free touch attack when you cast them.
