Nimbus of Light/sandbox
Nimbus of Light | |
Spell / SLA | |
Spell LevelSpell level indicates the relative power of a spell, determining when it can normally be acquired by the relevant class(es) of caster. Not to be confused with character level. For example, Fireball lists Sorcerer 3, Wizard 3.: |
Cleric 1, Favored Soul 1 |
---|---|
Granted ByAny secondary source of an ability, not already mentioned. For instance, Diehard is primarily a feat, but indicates that it can also be granted by the Frenzied Berserker enhancement tree.: |
Divine Disciple (Cleric), Angel of Vengeance (FvS) |
Spell SchoolEvery spell (optional for SLAs) belongs to one of eight schools of magic, such as Evocation or Necromancy. Optional descriptors, e.g. Fire, Compulsion, are also listed here.: |
Evocation (Light) |
ComponentsEvery spell requires one or more types of components, either Verbal, Somatic, or Material. These are specified using the templates{{V}} , {{S}} , and {{M}} , respectively.:
|
VerbalVerbal: A verbal component is a spoken incantation. You cannot cast spells that require this component if you cannot act or speak. Certain rare spells, such as Silence Creature, may temporarily disable spells that require verbal components., SomaticSomatic: A somatic component is a measured and precise movement of the hand. You cannot cast spells that require this component if you cannot move causing arcane spell failure resulting in a ruined spell. Spells without a somatic component may be used with disregard to Arcane Spell Failure chance. Note - that characters make the same arm gestures for most spells in DDO, so you can't tell which spells require this component by watching your character's animations., FocusFocus: A focus component is a prop of some sort. Unlike a material component, a focus is not consumed when the spell is cast and can be reused. This has no gameplay applications in DDO, as all characters are always considered to be carrying a focus component at all times and it does not require a inventory slot. |
Spell Point CostThe number of Spell Points used to cast the spell.: |
4 (spell), 4/3/2 (SLA) |
MetamagicThe effects of spells and SLAs can often be enhanced using metamagic, a type of toggled feat, for example,{{Maximize}} and {{Heighten}} .:
|
Empower, Maximize, Quicken |
TargetEvery ability has one or more targets, defined as Self, Friend, or Foe. The field may also contain additional information, such as Undead Foe or Breakables. The field is sometimes hidden, e.g., for a passive feat whose target is Self, such as Toughness.: |
Foe, Directional, Breakable |
RangeThe distance at which an active ability can be activated, such as Melee for Cleave, or Double for Nimbus of Light. Typical values are Personal, Melee, Ranged, Touch, Standard (spell), or Double (ray), although any value can be specified. Not to be confused with area.: |
Double |
Saving ThrowThe type of saving throw, if any, that can be used to avert a spell or effect. Common values include Will, Fortitude, Reflex for half, or None.: |
None |
Spell ResistanceWhether spell resistance can avert the spell or SLA, Yes or No.: |
No |
CooldownHow long a character must wait between activations of an ability, typically measured in seconds.: |
2 seconds |
DamageThe amount and type of damage inflicted.: |
1d4+4 plus 1 per caster level light damage (no max?)needs verification |
Description
A glittering corona of light coalesces around your outstretched arm, dealing 1d4+4 points of light damage plus 1 additional damage for every caster level. This ray has double spell range.
Note: This spell has no saving throw, and hits creatures with Spell Resistance every try. Coupled with its low spell point cost, long range, and relatively fast casting time, Nimbus of Light is a surprisingly effective means of damage against single, powerful enemies, such as bosses. This is especially true of enemies well defended against nonmagical attacks, such as an Inevitable. This is also true at high levels, when 4 SP will do an average of 27 unstoppable damage (plus applicable spell boosts), making several casts of Nimbus of Light bursts much cheaper and more total guaranteed damage than, say, Cometfall.
