|guild=warrior mage
Barrage is a Warrior Mage ability that combines a melee weapon attack with a cast targeted damaging spell.
|prereqs=30th Circle, Quest

|slots=-
To use Barrage, you must have a proper Targeted Magic Spell prepared and fully targeted. That target will be the target for the melee attack. Since the spell's target will be the melee target as well you can't choose a different target for the melee attack, but you CAN specify what type of melee attack you wish to use.

Current valid options are: thrust, lunge, slice, chop, sweep, jab, draw, pummel, swing, bash, feint, and attack.

BARRAGE alone will default to attack.

< You lunge a steel-capped ironwood quarter staff carved with multiple cambrinth-inlaid symbols at a snowbeast. A snowbeast fails to evade. The staff lands a very heavy hit that knocks the snowbeast's breath away with a loud *Whuff* as the stomach takes full force of the blow as it attempts to regain balance.

* 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.
It should be noted that Barrage consumes Manipulative Resolve when used, so a mage has a limited amount of uses before he must rest.
* 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.
