Alternate name: Contact magic

Not to be confused with somatic magic where gestures are used to produce magical effect. Especially becomes confusing when a punch creates a giant magic fist to punch out (or any similar instances). It's somatic magic if the magic fist does all the punching, physical magic if the magic first is only some weird visual effect while the caster's actual fist does the damage (in most cases it's the former).

Perhaps best known example of this is `adepts´ from Shadowrun.

There being touch-based spells among many others should not qualify for this alone. However a magic-user that does only touch-based spells would qualify (when not made by player choice of omitting non touch-based spells).
