How it works
Not a spell anyone casts: it is the weapon signature of a full archer set, and only tier 5 and tier 6 sets carry it.
It fires on 12 per cent of hits at tier 5 and 16 per cent at tier 6.
Pure damage, which no resistance reduces and no armour soaks. Because of that it rolls fewer dice than the other two set bursts: 8 six-sided dice at tier 5 and 10 at tier 6.
It bursts in a sphere of 5 metres where the blow landed. It needs line of sight, it never hurts the wearer, and it reaches a creature later the further out that creature stands.
