Notes

  • This is particularly useful against enemies casting a concentration-type spell such as some form of buff or debuff, as it does induce a Concentration check and could potentially break the spell the instant it is cast.
  • In the French translation the damage is said to be 1d4 + the spell level but the actual damage dealt is correct.
