Arcane strike feat

Seems a bit iffy to me. While the character has to give up some spells to use it, seems like it would let high level casters dish out quite a bit of attack damage, which should be reserved for fighters IMO. Do you have to commit the spell levels before rolling the attack? That might make it a bit more balanced.

Can you use this feat with ranged touch attacks?

I think its a pretty cool feat. A 20th-level caster can get some good use out of it with a 5th-level spell. It also gives fighter/wizards some really slick options. But picture a rogue/wizard or rogue/sorcerer with this sucker. Sacrificing a spell along with making a sneak attack. Ouch. I love it.

They aren't supposed to do quite a bit of damage in melee.
Can the feat be used when you're otherwise prevented from using spell effects (such as while under the influence of a Tenser's transformation or a Frenzied Berserker's frenzy? If so, yikes! Not only are the clerics better fighters than the fighters, now the sorcerers and wizards can be too! (Only in the short run of course, fighters have endurance)

Of course. How can you gain the bonus on the roll if you didn't sacrifice the spell?

The PHB has melee attack and melee touch attack listed separately. I believe it only applies to normal attacks, not touch attacks.
Plus, it grants a +1d6 per spell level... if the initial attack is unable to deal damage (eg. a touch attack), then there's nothing to apply the bonus damage toward.
