In response to concerns that the release of Arcane Blast (1700) has provided a decided mechanical advantage to low-level Pures (Wizards, Clerics, Empaths, Sorcerers, and Savants), we have also released the new Physical Blast (2000) spell. All Squares (Warriors, Rogues) and Semis (Paladins, Monks, Rangers, and Bards) will have innate knowledge of this spell. Like Arcane Blast, it requires no mana to cast, but it does require that one be holding a weapon or using an open hand, and will subject the caster to 4+ seconds of roundtime depending on their weapon size and encumbrance.

When cast from an offensive stance, Physical Blast will attempt to swing your weapon or fist at the target, resulting in an AS vs. DS check with other factors such as AvD and a random dice roll contributing to success/failure. Casts from lower stances will see a decided AS penalty.

Due to its largely physical nature, Physical Blast will be invoked using the ATTACK verb. We hope that this release will finally give squares and semis a needed tool to keep up with pures.

Finally a Physical spell circle for all of us squares out here. Something that we can wrap our thick skulls around... or smash them into, whichever. Do you have any of the rest of the 2000 spell list done enough to give us a sneak peak?

I used Physical Blast a bunch of times today and my RT was only 3 seconds. Maybe there's a bug?

Physical Blast won't function without a target. Jeez.
