Spellballs

A set of Spellballs

Spellballs are color-coded projectiles that can impart damage and other effects.

  1. To use a Spellball, it must be primed before being thrown at a target.

  2. Spellballs are primed by casting the ability while holding the physical ball in a Free Hand.

  3. Once primed, a spellball can be held indefinitely before throwing, however it will cease to be primed if the physical ball is no longer held by the caster (except while passing from one hand to another), or the player begins casting another ability.

  4. A player can only have one Spellball primed at a time.

  5. Primed and thrown Spellballs will impart their effects on anything they hit with a valid strike until they stop moving.

  6. Spellballs that are thrown without being properly cast are entirely nullified and will have no effect whatsoever, even if the physical ball still strikes a target.

  7. Spellballs use the ‘Ball’ frequency. See 'Frequency' for more details.


V8 Transition Note: Spellballs are projectile weapons and can be blocked with Missile Block and resisted by Blessing Against Projectiles or similar abilities.
