Effect: You conjure seven powerful, glowing ballista bolts of magical force, each one massive and infused with destructive energy. Each bolt automatically hits a creature of your choice that you can see within range. The bolts fly with immense speed and accuracy, dealing 4d6 piercing damage and 4d6 force damage to their targets.
-
You can direct the bolts to hit one creature or several, but no more than one bolt can target any single creature.
-
The bolts deal a combination of physical piercing damage and arcane force, representing the sheer destructive power of both magic and weaponry.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the spell creates one additional bolt for each slot level above 7th. For example, an 8th-level spell slot creates 8 bolts, a 9th-level spell slot creates 9 bolts, and so on.
Lore & Flavor:
Ballista Barrage is a devastating spell that merges arcane magic with the power of siege weaponry. The caster calls upon the raw destructive force of ancient ballistae, manifesting magical versions of these massive bolts that rip through the battlefield with unparalleled precision. The bolts are not just propelled by magic—they carry the immense weight of pure destructive force, tearing through both armor and magical defenses. This spell is favored by sorcerers and wizards who seek to obliterate their foes with overwhelming power, especially those who see magic as a means of dominating the battlefield like a siege engineer.
