Elemental Barrage is a [[guild association is::warrior mage|Warrior Mage]] quest-learned Pathway ability. Barrage links a fully formed target matrix from a spell to a held weapon attack. The spell casts as normal, but the targetting matrix enhances the immediate strike as well as adding some flare for the element used. |

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. |

You focus on manipulating an aethereal pathway to suffuse your targeting matrix, then allow its pattern to direct the force of your staff. |

A shard of elemental fire flies at a snowbeast! |

Its right leg is broken and burned nearly to the bone by the fire shard! |

The snowbeast is barely stunned! |

Roundtime: 1 second. |

< 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. |

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

* Cannot be used while another pathway is active. |

* Barrage uses a fair amount of your elemental charge for pathways. |

* Attempting to barrage a nonexistant body part maintains the spell but uses up reserve when it fails. |

* Analogous patterns spells don't create a visible effect between the cast and attack. |
