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. |

Notes
- Spell Resistance does not protect against any of these effects, including the non-damaging ones.
- This spell is random, but interesting. Death effects can be potent.
- Prismatic Ray was nerfed in Update 34 as the two death effects no longer ignore deathblock/death ward. Reception: DDO Forums
- The 12.5% chance of a second ray is a nod to the PnP version of the spell: You' roll a d8 to determine the ray; on an 8, two rays are produced instead.
