1618 and flares

[drumpel]

Need some flaring fists?

Apparently 1618 allows your fists to flare.

I'm getting used to UAC and forget that you need to punch/kick/grapple and not just use attack. Sometimes I'm just smashing my fists into things, but I found out that you appear to get flares from your empty hands if you simply just swing your fist for an AS attack.

You swing a closed fist at a vesperti!
  AS: +291 vs DS: +212 with AvD: +19 + d100 roll: +94 = +192
   ... and hit for 26 points of damage!
   Torn muscle in the vesperti's left leg!

 ** Your hand surges with power as grey luminescence coalesces around it! **

   ... 10 points of damage!
   Plasma lashes the vesperti's shield arm blistering flesh.
Roundtime: 2 sec.

Not sure if this is known or not, but I though it was interesting.

It can flare from anything offensive except maneuvers. Casts (even without a runestaff), ranged weapons, UCS, standard melee

Out and about with my level 30 TWC paladin, finally got spell 1618.

   Blow leaves an imprint on the dobrem's chest!

 ** Your eonake ball-and-chain pulses with a burst of plasma energy! **
   ... 15 points of damage!
   Plasma scorches a hole in the dobrem's weapon arm!
   The dobrem is stunned!
You swing a fel-handled eonake war hammer at a dobrem!

   Blow to chest causes the dobrem's heart to skip a beat.

   Blistering bolt of energy causes the dobrem's eyelid to burn to a crisp!

 ** Your eonake war hammer sprays with a burst of plasma energy! **
   ... 25 points of damage!
   Skin roasted away from back exposing the dobrem's spinal column!
Roundtime: 5 sec.

Each weapon has a chance to flare 3 times in one swing; 2x off of 1604 being cast upon them and 1x with 1618 being active.

Flares....flares....flares for everyone!
