Okay, I know this is a rather silly question being that I have been playing Oblivion for several weeks and am now at level 14 , but...how exactly do "touch" spells work? I guess I'm wondering more about whether or not the spell actually works for both hand to hand and with a weapon.
So I suppose the question would be this...how do you properly use a "touch" spell?

Neither, the term touch just means the target has to be withing touching distance to be affected by the spell. Us it as you would a 'Target' spell, just make sure the recipient of the spell is real close.

But if you also meant 'can I use a touch spell to enchant a weapon?' yes you can, but it will be 'on strike', as it is for all spells used to enchant weapons - other than staffs, that is, which are always ranged. (Not that you will ever get the chance to enchant a staff yourself....)

not quite sure sorry

it depends relly some of them like the shock touch spell simply shocks them when i hit them with a sword, hand, etc,
but if its one like fire touch spell than all it dose is burn whoever u hit (deals damage over a certin amount of time)
well good luck hope this helped
