How to learn

This spell is a variation of:
Divine Strike: Weapon

Notes

• The bonus damage of this attack matches the main-hand weapon damage so it can deal a wide variety of damage types such as ⁠Psychic with a  Shadow Blade. The main-hand weapon's damage type is used even if the triggering attack was made with an offhand weapon.
• This action can be triggered as a post-strike reaction (without spending a  Reaction), similar to  Divine Smite.
• Refer to Divine Strike for details about this family of weapon actions.

Bugs

• This attack deals non-magical damage when used as an  Action, but deals magical damage when used as a post-strike  Reaction.
  • Due to a coding mistake, when used as a post-strike reaction in Honour Mode this attack deals non-magical damage.
