Bugs
- The
Level 1 Spell Slot version of this action changes attack animations in Honour mode due to an override in the code. - The Level 4 Spell Slot, Level 5 Spell Slot, and Level 6 Spell Slot versions of this action do not lose DRS in Honour mode when used as an attack, while the equivalent reaction versions do.
