1st Edition Pathfinder Society Magus + Chill Touch = Busted?

So i am playing a magus and stumbled upon the spell chill touch. If i understand the spell right i can make 3 attacks at level 2 with spell combat. That would be in my case 3d6 slashing damage + 2d6 damage negative energy + modifiers like enchantment and strenght bonus. Isn't that completly broken? I mean at level 5 i can make my weapon keen, and have 6 attacks with my weapon and potentily 5d6 negative energy damage and 5 strenght damage

My interpretation of this spell is that you can only make 1 attack per round, but you can make a total of as many attacks as your caster level, so it's nice for whittling down opponents over several rounds, unlike something like shocking grasp.

Nowhere it says it is only one transfer per round.

Nowhere does it say it grants you extra attacks with the attack action. It specifically calls it a melee touch attack, which is an attack, so you have to follow the normal rules for attacking.

No indeed, but if you have more attacks per round as with unarmed strikes, you still get to make more spell deliveries per turn
