Warps space into paradoxical configurations to strike many visible foes with one melee attack. Power increases the number of foes attacked with one cast, though unarmed attacks strike only half as many targets at once, as additional care must be taken when warping one's own limbs. The time taken for the attack is exactly the same as a normal melee attack. Attacks performed this way never miss, but the exact spot struck cannot be controlled precisely, making them unable to do extra damage against unsuspecting foes.

Manifold Assault is a level 5 Translocations spell which allows you to attack multiple targets with a melee attack from a long distance. Higher spellpower allows you to attack more targets at once, up to a maximum of four. This spell takes the same amount of time as it does to swing your melee weapon (or fists).

Strategy

This spell takes quite a bit of investment to cast. Species like Gnolls can spare the experience to use this spell, and afford to invest into melee combat stats.
