Spell
Arcane Overcharge
Created by NevarreWhen activated, this enchantment suffuses your crossbows with raw magical energy, transforming them into devastating instruments of arcane destruction. The weapons hum with barely contained power as they accelerate to supernatural firing speeds, unleashing a relentless barrage of bolts in rapid succession. Each projectile is reinforced with arcane force, allowing it to pierce through armor and magical defenses with ease. Upon impact, the bolts detonate in explosive bursts of magical energy, dealing additional damage to the target and potentially catching nearby enemies in the blast radius. The more you fire, the more the magic builds, creating a cascading effect of increasingly powerful detonations. This spell demands significant concentration to maintain, as channeling such volatile arcane forces requires constant focus and magical reserves. The transformation persists only as long as you sustain the spell, and releasing its hold causes your crossbows to return to their mundane state.
