Manifold Assault

Manifold Assault is a level 7 Translocations spell which allows the caster to attack multiple targets within line of sight with melee attacks. Each target is automatically hit by 1 attack from your weapon (or fist), with no auxiliary attacks. This spell is cast in the same amount of time as your weapon's attack delay.

If wielding a weapon, you can hit up to 4 + power/25 targets (max 12),<ref>Template:Source ref</ref> rounded in a weighted manner. If using Unarmed Combat, the number of targets is halved. All hostile monsters that are in LOS have an equal chance to be targeted.

Manifold Assault is unable to stab opponents, while cleaving and reaching have no effect.

Strategy

• This spell takes a lot of investment to cast. It's not really feasible for heavy armour characters in a 3-5 rune game. Talisman users are perhaps the best users, despite the halved targets if using Unarmed.
• Manifold Assault is more MP-efficient when dealing more damage per swing, so two-handed weapons and certain transformations like Statue Form and Storm Form are relatively more effective. The dark maul is especially brutal.
