Notes

• Fires a beam in a line that affects one allied target or up to 3 enemy targets it passes through, depending on your selected target.
  • It will not affect allies if you start the cast on an enemy or vice versa.
  • The selected target will always be affected by the beam. Then, if it the cast is on an enemy, the first two pierced targets either closest to the player or behind the selected target are also affected. (Despite appearances, the beam extends invisibly beyond its target destination, upon which it pivots.)
• The player is made to face the target throughout the casting, but forcing one's self to face away by running will cancel it at the next tick.
