| Warps space into paradoxical configurations in order to strike many visible targets with one melee attack. At high power, it can be used to strike more enemies at once. Very high power is required to launch multiple unarmed strikes in this fashion, since greater care must be taken when warping one's own limbs. The time taken for the attack is exactly the same as a normal attack. It's imprecise, so it can't do extra damage against unsuspecting foes. |
Manifold Assault is a level 4 Translocations spell which allows you to attack multiple targets within line of sight with melee attacks. Each target is hit by 1 attack from your weapon (or fist), with no auxiliary attacks. This spell's is cast in the same amount of time as your weapon's attack delay.
Higher spellpower allows you to attack more targets at once. The number of targets is equal to 2 + Spell Power/50[1] (max 4), rounded in a weighted manner. If you are using Unarmed Combat, the number of targets is halved. All hostile monsters that are in LOS have an equal chance to be targeted.
Warpers start with this spell available.

Restrictions
Manifold Assault is unable to stab opponents, while cleaving and reaching have no effect. In addition, the following unrand artefacts have special effects that do not activate under this spell:
Strategy
- This spell takes quite a bit of investment to cast. Species like Gnolls can spare the experience to use this spell, while able to invest into melee combat stats too.
- Manifold Assault thrives when paired with high damage melee attacks. Slower weapons like the Dark maul, or Transmutations such as Dragon Form, will prove to be effective.
- This spell is quite MP intensive, but Djinn and characters worshipping Vehumet or The Shining One (in the late-game) can afford to continously spam it at a distance.
History
- Prior to 0.30, Manifold Assault was a level 5 spell, with no special behavior towards Unarmed Combat.
- Manifold Assault was added in 0.27.
