Manifold Assault allows for attacking multiple ''targets'' at a distance, but not multiple ''times''. This spell takes quite a bit of investment to cast and favors species like [[Gnoll]]s who can spare the experience to both use it and still keep up with melee combat.

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.
