Lastly, I've been digging a bit more about specific traits on spells, and I found out 3 spells that might have an issue with their traits :
Clownish Curse, Savant's Curse, and Daydreamer's Curse all have the Attack trait, though never call for attack rolls of any kind, thus never applies to anything from the spell. And I also checked, the trait doesn't apply to other curse spells with similar wordings.
Do you think it's an editing mistake from the Paizo staff ?

The attack trait was removed from a slew of spells in recent Errata which were touch spells, often curses, with no attack roll attached. I imagine that these being from APs slipped through the cracks between being written and the errata being issued or were written with older guidance in mind and simply missed on editing.
Pages 316–407: Remove the attack trait from the spells Abyssal plague, chill touch, death knell, ghoulish cravings, goblin pox, mariner’s curse, outcast’s curse, spider sting, spiritual guardian, spiritual weapon, savor the sting, touch of undeath (the cleric focus spell), and force bolt.
Similarly, it was added to any spell which did call for an attack roll.
Page 330, 358, 377: Add the attack trait to disintegrate, polar ray, and tanglefoot.
I'd probably rule them to not have the attack trait in my own games.
