Notes

  • This spell can be considered a significantly more powerful version of Magic Missile Magic Missile. When upcast with a level 5 spell slot, Magic Missile does 7d4+7 (14~35) force damage across 7 projectiles, dealing 24.5 force damage on average. Artistry of War does 12d6+36 (48~108) force damage across 6 projectiles, dealing 78 force damage on average.
    • Like Magic Missile, this spell's projectiles hit without any attack roll and can curve around obstacles and terrain to hit targets without line of sight.
    • Unlike Magic Missile, this spell is not blocked by Shield Shield.
  • This spell can only be cast once per short rest and cannot be upcast with a level 6 spell slot. This recharge time cannot be avoided even with a free cast feature like Arcane Battery Arcane Battery or Freecast Freecast.
  • The incantation for Curriculum of Strategy: Artistry of War is Pario, Latin for "bring forth", "produce", or "create".

Bugs

  • The damage per apparition shown on the in-game tooltip is correct (2d6 + 6Damage TypesForce), but the overall damage listed is incorrect. The tooltip claims it deals 12d6 + 6Damage TypesForce instead of 12d6 + 36Damage TypesForce damage total.
