Magical Attack (cantrip)
Magical Attack (cantrip)
The Magical Attack power covers any attempt to disable or cause direct harm to your target. Characters often mix and match various modifiers to create their desired combination of effects, from pyrokinesis to disintegrating the enemy's weapon.
Make a combat check with your equipped wand or staff, using the weapon statistics below.
