The channel spell ability of Ordained Champion reads as such:

Channel Spell (Su): At 3rd level, you can channel any spell available to you that has one creature or more as its target into your melee weapon. Doing so requires a move action and uses up a spell slot or prepared spell of casting time no greater than one standard action. The channeled spell affects the next target you successfully attack with that weapon, though saving throws and spell resistance still apply normally. Even if the spell normally affects an area or is a ray, it still affects only the target in this case. On a successful hit, the spell is discharged from the weapon, which can then hold another spell. You can channel your spells into only one weapon at a time. A spell channeled into a weapon is lost if not used within 8 hours.
Would using this ability with weapons such as the Swordbow or Bladed Crossbow, which are technically the same weapon, allow for the Cleric to act similarly to an arcane archer?
