1) The maho-tsukai prestige class in OA gets the ability to swap out existing caster levels for MT caster levels. This improves the MT's spells/day and spells known, but existing spells known aren't lost (they just count against the MT's limit). How does this work with non-spontaneous casting? Say I have a 6th level shaman who goes bad and gains 8 MT levels. Can I swap all 6 shaman caster levels for MT levels, casting as a 14th level MT, and selecting spells from the shaman and MT spell lists? Do I retain other shaman class abilities, eg spirit's favour, spirit sight, and domain spells/abilities?

2) A lich has a touch attack that does 1d8+5 points of damage, as well as paralysis on a failed Fort save. If its BAB is high enough, can it do this with iterative attacks?

My initial thought was yes, until I noticed this:

"A lich with natural weapons [plural] can use its touch attack [singular] or its natural weaponry, as it prefers. If it chooses the latter, it deals 1d8+5 points of extra damage on one natural weapon attack."

Looks like the special damage from a touch attack can only be applied once per round.

Just like the vampire's energy drain. It too is only once per round regardless of the number of attacks. At least they are consistent.

Thanks, guys. On a related note, could the lich cast a touch spell and make the touch attack in the same round?
