Spells
| Spell | Tags | Consumes | Falloff |
|---|---|---|---|
| Both | — | — | |
|
Swaps between crossbow stance and bash stance. Each swap reloads the crossbow and opens a brief swap window on the stance you entered. | |||
| Point Blank | — | — | |
|
A crossbow shot with inverted falloff: maximum damage at contact range, almost nothing at distance. The bonus applies only against a target currently engaging you, and is largest inside a swap window. | |||
| Bolt Wall | — | Steep | |
|
A horizontal volley that lightly damages every enemy it catches and applies a pin. Steep falloff. 8 targets, nearest first. Pin duration does not fall off.
| |||
| Pinning Shot | — | — | |
|
Applies a pin to 1 enemy, holding it in place until it breaks free. It keeps attacking, so it still counts as currently engaging you. 3 per caster, 8 party-wide. | |||
| Braced Shot | — | Shallow | |
|
Plants your feet and charges a bolt that pierces every enemy in a line. Shallow falloff. Cannot be cast inside a swap window.
| |||
| Reload Bash | — | — | |
|
Applies stagger with a heavy strike from the crossbow's body, and reloads on connection even without swapping stance. | |||
| "Yes" | — | — | |
|
A short guard window. In bash stance the absorbed hit becomes a loaded bolt at contact range; in crossbow stance it shoves you out of contact. Either refunds a free swap. | |||
Falloff: per-target output × n^-k down to a floor, where n is targets hit. The band supplies both — Flat k=0/100% · Shallow k=0.13/60% · Standard k=0.25/50% · Steep k=0.39/35% · Punishing k=0.77/15% — and — is a spell that states none.
