Elemental Barrage is a Warrior Mage"Warrior mage" is not in the list (None, Bard, Barbarian, Cleric, Empath, Moon Mage, Necromancer, Paladin, Ranger, Thief, ...) of allowed values for the "Guild association is" property. 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 that you are aligned.

To use Barrage, you must have a proper Targeted Magic Spell prepared and fully targeted. It also requires a fair bit of elemental charge to use.

Syntax

BARRAGE {maneuver}
Current valid options are: thrust, lunge, slice, chop, sweep, jab, draw, pummel, swing, bash, feint, and attack.
BARRAGE alone will default to attack.

Example

Not enough charge:
>barrage slice
You are unable to muster the energy to do that.

Paeldryth's Wrath:
>barrage lunge
A quick gust of wind picks up from out of nowhere and quickly swirls about you.
< Moving with incredible power and control, you lunge a short narrow-bladed halberd with a cambrinth-inlaid ironwood shaft at a granite gargoyle. A granite gargoyle fails to evade, failing miserably. The halberd lands a devastating hit that cuts a ragged line across the back.
[You're adeptly balanced and in very strong position.]
[Roundtime 7 sec.]
You gesture at a granite gargoyle.
The winds slam into a granite gargoyle. A granite gargoyle staggers back as far away from you as it can get!
The complementary nature of the spell empowers you.

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.

Notes

• Elemental flare indicates bonus to melee attack was successful.

• Works with target spells from the Analogous Patterns Spellbook, and all targetted Warrior Mage spells except Ring of Spears, Chain Lightning, and Fire Rain.

• 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.
• 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.
• The Melee attack portion of barrage will attempt to continue through spelled induced stuns.

Despite wobbling from the stun, your greatsword continues on course.
