They might find them more "Exciting" but in reality the Archer still can not cast the spell as an AOE. and no the range would be the same as the spell, maybe lower.
"Drawing a line in the sand" doesn't mean the weapon touches the ground just that he crosses his sword in front of him and the ground lights up with the spell where the tip of his sword pointed, so even if you used it with a dagger it would just "appear" on the ground where the tip pointed even if not touching.
As for Mages using Physical attacks. I'd imagine them acting something like Nier. Specifically Doomspike could look like the spell where a spear of energy forms behind the user then flys forward striking the enemy.
