+* '''Activate Witch Bolt''' is classified as a [[cantrip]] and will benefit from cantrip exclusive boosts like the {{RarityItem|Necklace of Elemental Augmentation}}. On the other hand, it will not activate abilities like {{SAI|Tempestuous Magic}} that require casting leveled spells.
+* Unlike the initial cast of Witch Bolt, '''Activate Witch Bolt''' has no {{Attack roll}}. The damage is guaranteed.
+* If the spellcaster is maintaining Witch Bolt on multiple targets (through {{SAI|Metamagic: Twinned Spell}}), '''Activate Witch Bolt''' will damage each target.
