[SixOfSpades]

When you cast a "Touch-damage" spell like Chill Touch or Shocking Grasp, it turns your hand into a melee weapon that does special damage--but you have to make a successful attack for it to work. So if the Flaming Fist Wizard casts Ghoul Touch, but you kill him before he can get within melee range to use it on you, THAT'S when I think you might be able to loot the Ghoul Touch hand from his corpse.
