Changing a spell's type of target and saving throw

[Vash8542]

I have a question about changing a spells type of targeting: If I were to cast the spell "Lightning" and deliver it, for example, with an Eldritch Archer's 16th level ability, Focusing Spellstrike, which reads as follows:

At 16th level, an eldritch archer can use ranged spellstrike to deliver a cone- or line-shaped spell as a ray, affecting only the creature or object struck.

Is the spell still going to allow a reflex saving throw, since it is now a ray and not a line anymore and I have to actual hit the enemy's AC to damage it?

I found myself asking this question since reflex saving throws are almost always exclusive to AoE spells, which Lightning, while delivered like this, isn't.

The spell will still allow a Reflex save as usual.

While this seems odd (as the only ranged-touch spells that allow Reflex saves are for added effects, such as the burial effect of Clashing Rocks on a direct hit) there's nothing about Focused Spellstrike that causes the spell's saving throw line to change just because the spell became a ray.

On the other hand, because you've changed it into a ray, it can score critical hits and benefit from ray-as-weapon feats etc.

The fact that a spell is a ray has nothing to do with whether it allows a saving throw. If the spells description says it allows a saving throw the target of the spell gets a saving throw. While most spells that are rays do not allow saving throws some do. Ray of Enfeeblement for example allows a Fortitude saving throw for half.
