Phantom Strikes¶

A melee attack hit can cause a phantom strike against a random nearby enemy, including the original target. Only the weapon's own blow counts: projectiles, spells and area blows such as a sceptre's Smite lightning do not. It deals 15% of the original hit's calculated damage before the target's defences. Damage modifiers are not applied again, and it does not roll a new critical strike or trigger on-hit effects. Every full 100% chance guarantees one phantom strike; the remainder rolls for one more. Only Endless Apparition allows phantom strikes to trigger further phantom strikes.
