Effect: | Cast a TM spell in conjunction with a weapon attack | |
Messaging: | Not enough charge: >barrage slice Paeldryth's Wrath: |
Notes
- Elemental flare indicates bonus to melee attack was successful.
- Works with Strange Arrow from the Analogous Patterns Spellbook, and all targetted Warrior Mage spells except Ring of Spears, Chain Lightning, Fire Rain, and Aethrolysis.
- Requires a fully formed target matrix to activate.
- Cannot be used while another pathway is active.
- Barrage uses a fair amount of your elemental charge for pathways. Approximately: A charge dances just below the threshold of discomfort.
- Attempting to barrage a nonexistant body part maintains the spell but uses up reserve when it fails.
- The Melee attack portion of barrage will attempt to continue through spelled induced stuns.
- Despite wobbling from the stun, your greatsword continues on course.

Attack strings
The string indicating a bonus you see just prior to your attack will vary depending on the element of the spell you are aligned, as follows:
- Fire
- Heatless orange flames climb your scimitar before winking out of existance.
- Aether
- A shimmering silvery-blue glow quickly spreads from your hand to the tip of your scimitar, then quickly fades.
- Electricity
- Tiny fingers of lightning course rapidly along your scimitar, disappearing almost immediately.
- Earth
- Pebbles all around your feet jump quickly into the air and hover a moment, before falling back down.
- Water
- A thin layer of frost quickly forms on your iltesh before just as quickly evaporating.
- Air
- A quick gust of wind picks up from out of nowhere and quickly swirls about you.
