Category:Piercing spells

Spells that deal Piercing damage. Currently, a majority of implemented spells which deal Piercing damage are also Thorn spells.

Physical spells, whether they deal Bludgeoning, Piercing or Slashing damage, share several unique traits in how they function.

• Physical spells are modified by effects which bolster Force spells: Physical spells scale with Force Spell Power, Spell Critical Chance, and Spell Critical Damage.
• Physical damage inflicted by spells are unaffected by DR in any way, instead dealing full damage to targets.
• Physical damage inflicted by spells does scale with PRR. A target with positive PRR will take reduced damage, whereas a target with negative PRR will take more.
• As with all other sources of damage, Physical damage inflicted by spells is modified by Vulnerable.
