| 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 5 Translocations spell which allows you to attack 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
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 Gnolls who can spare the experience to both use it and still keep up with melee combat.
