I’m a filthy 5e casual, what sort of madness should I expect?

(I’ve played a couple of PF1e one-shots and built a few characters so I know the surface-level differences, but what sort of 5e thinking do I need to un-learn?)

    Coming from 5e land where spellcasters would probably never touch a physical weapon and have higher damage from cantrips it seems odd not to have a touch-range cantrip that a squishy wizard can use if someone gets in their face. I guess in PF you don’t generally want to be casting touch-range spells due to the AoE provocation, you’d generally just 5-foot step back and use your ranged spell, right?

    I’ve seen arcane mark mentioned as the “default” spellstrike spell, I guess it makes sense to get the free attack, just seems like a waste to be casting a spell that does nothing when I could be doing more!
