• Slashing Flourish (Ranged) simply lets you select two targets of your choice using the targeting system of Magic Missile.

• Slashing Flourish (Melee) does a cleave and hits 2 targets.

• Both Mobile Flourish teleports use standard movement.
  • In order to teleport you need 6 m / 20 ft movement remaining plus whatever distance you are from the target before the push.
