Spell Attack is an Attack Action performed by casting an offensive Spell (typically of the Sorcery type).

  • Casting uses Intellect (INT) unless the Spell states otherwise; the caster must have the matching Affinity (Element).
  • A Spell carries the Melee and/or Ranged type; this determines whether it behaves as a Melee Attack or a Ranged Attack. If a Spell has both types, the attacker chooses which one is used when declaring the Attack.
  • If an Enchantment grants the model the "Spell" type (the ✯ Power symbol), its Attacks count as Spell Attacks for effects such as Resistance (Spell).
