Here is my proposed Hideous Blow fix.
Shadow Blow
Least, 1st, Shape
You channel your eldritch blast through a melee attack. As a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity, you may make a shadow blow. Whether or not your weapon actually hit the target, the shape of it is echoed by your eldritch blast. After making an attack roll as normal with your melee weapon, make an additional melee touch attack. If this second attack hits, you deal eldritch blast damage with any associated essences applied. If you have iterative attacks, this invocation must be made as a full round action. The initial melee attack is the only made with your weapon. Your iterative attacks are shadowy echoes of your eldritch blast and may only target the target your attempted to strike with your initial melee attack. All shadowy echoes gain any enhancement, enchantment, or other magical bonuses your normal melee attacks get with your wielded weapon if applicable.
Additionally, any attacks of opportunity made against the initial target also gain one shadowy echo of eldritch blast but attacks against other targets do not.
