 Yeah, that's it right there!  I think touch spell (and a couple close range spells) usefulness would go up a great deal if they would add a new flag to them called "melee spell".  Melee spells would ignore that 50% chance, and also be castable by a mage who is set to "attack" orders.
Thanks for quoting that.
