Of the various abilities listed above, some are more obviously suited to combat than others in a wider range of use, while some are better suited to non-combat uses while having only a touch modifier, and others still are incredibly useful regardless of whether used in combat or outside it. Fiery touch is useful for lighting many torches, watery touch to gather something to drink, metal touch to possibly damage locks for breaking and entering, stone touch for climbing, slime touch for setting traps, and so forth.  The possibilities for play with them are multitude even at so low a level and so limited in range.  It all depends on how creative the players and GM are with how they can be used.
