Somatic Shell

Overview

Fire a damaging projectile from your wand which aims itself towards an enemy and applies a shell to the first enemy struck. Damage from hits against that target is taken from the shell first. If fully depleted, the shell will explode, dealing area damage and firing a projectile at another target to apply a new shell to it. If multiple projectiles are fired by an exploding shell, only the first one to hit a target can apply a shell.
