Question for those of you who've actually used this spell. Is it stackable with a weapon, or does the fact that it is a touch spell mean that you can only cause damage with the spell effect?

What I'm hoping (albeit faintly) is that you can use Cold Touch in combination with a weapon, e.g. add the Chill Touch damage and effects (Str loss or undead fear) to a normal melee attack. Otherwise, it will sit in my spell repertoire, unused and practically worthless.

In the event that it's not stackable with weapons, is it stackable with other touch spells? I have the happy thought of touching an enemy once and having it hit with Chill Touch, Lich Touch, Shocking Grasp and Vampiric Touch all in one go.

Edit: it would also be an awesome complement to some of the evil cleric (reverse healing) spells.
