The statement about the freebie doesn't say it's your only chance, in fact it takes pains to make it parallel with the usual free touch attack. There are two separate clauses here - "he can deliver the spell through any weapon he is wielding as part of a melee attack" and "Instead of the free melee touch attack normally allowed to deliver the spell, a magus can make one free melee attack with his weapon." It seems to me that if the attack misses, the charge is held (just like if you were to miss with a touch attack on the same spell, it would be held) and you can try again with your own attacks, just like with normal spell touch attacks.
Combat Patrol just gives you increased threatened area, it doesn't modify what provokes AoOs though. Your attack of opportunity happens immediately before the charge attack is resolved. This attack uses the weapon’s critical range (20, 19–20, or 18–20 and modified by the keen weapon property or similar effects), but the spell effect only deals ×2 damage on a successful critical hit, while the weapon damage uses its own critical modifier. You may make an attack of opportunity against a charging opponent who enters an area you threaten. If the magus makes this attack in concert with spell combat, this melee attack takes all the penalties accrued by spell combat melee attacks. If successful, this melee attack deals its normal damage as well as the effects of the spell. 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. Per spellstrike,Īt 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. No, he can try again with his weapon melee attack.
