For instance, Arcane Charge will boost both the weapon damage and {{SAI|Colossus Slayer}} damage of a single attack.
*The movement speed penalty from Arcane Charge can be mitigated by {{SAI|Freedom of Movement}}, but not any effects that only mitigate [[Difficult Terrain]] like {{SAI|Land's Stride}}.
