• Far'aag, For'reth, Ghush'ins, Golbraith Stredivas, Jeera, Therezzyn, Tska'an, Umr'a'ac, Wanda Tullermoor, Yy'rul, Zhendila

Notes

• This feat does not give the user the regular Shocking Grasp spell if they do not already have it. Nevertheless, they can still cast this version during an attack of opportunity, but not in any other context.
• Unlike the regular spell, this version of Shocking Grasp can be cast even while  Silenced.
• Unlike a regular  Opportunity Attack, this feature can be used while under the protection of  Sanctuary; doing so immediately ends the effect.

Bugs

• This feature is still able to attack targets that have either  Panache or  Fancy Footwork.
• This feature does not trigger when the user is equipped with only ranged weapons.
