Malediction with no range

[Infornific]

Question about Afflicition w/Malediction that came to mind while commenting on another thread. Suppose you wanted an Affliction with the Malediction enhancement (Will v HT to take effect) but no range - if you want to Afflict someone else you need to touch them. What would be the appropriate Limitation or is this technically allowed by rule?

Melee C. Optionally, throw in the 0 point feature to base it on a skill roll instead of your Will, making it [Insert unarmed skill here] vs HT.

Thanks - GURPS Character builder seemed to think that would create a different attack mode. I'm actually looking for a framework for a buffing type spell - i.e., the Affliction grants an Advantage and to "cast the spell" the mage has to either touch the target or cast it on himself.

"Different attack mode" in GCA means it's moving from your Ranged attack table to your Melee one.

I've done that as Melee, C, no Parry (-35%).

You don't need Malediction - just go with "Based on Different Attribute" (p.B102).
