Grab someone's face with your palm, and blast fire from it, charring the poor souls face as he screams, and slumps to the ground.
This with all the touch spells. With spells that are ranged (i.e. fireball) you character should take a second to meditate, then they fling the spell at the enemy, but it is in first person of the spell, so it is like you are flying at the enemy; then it cuts away at the last section.
