Prerequisites: Ritual Magery 1+; at least one Missile spell.

You've mastered the art of casting Missile spells, providing you with a number of special benefits:

• Cast and blast: You use a Concentrate maneuver to cast and throw a Missile spell in a single turn, following most of the normal Missile-spell rules. If your spellcasting roll succeeds, you can invest energy up to the normal limit for a single turn, then immediately roll your missile's attack skill to hit a target instead of holding it in hand. If you choose to do this, both the casting roll and the attack roll are at −3.
• Talented hand: Add your Ritual Magery level to your missile spell's attack skill.
• Practiced release: When using an Attack or All-Out Attack maneuver to throw a held Missile spell (not the cast-and-blast above), you automatically add your missile's Acc bonus to the attack roll without aiming. If you Move and Attack, ignore the normal penalties for that maneuver.
• Close work: You take no penalty to hit in close combat, and halve all penalties for pop-up attacks or opportunity fire.

Campaign note: "energy up to the normal limit for a single turn" means cast-and-blast never launches a charged/accumulated missile — those are always thrown normally (where Practiced Release applies).

Prerequisites: Ritual Magery 1+; at least one Missile spell.

While many Resisted spells can remove a foe from the fight immediately, Missile spells have the greatest potential for pure damage. Yours are even more deadly:

• Deadly missiles: If your missile spell's attack skill is at Ranged Base +1, get +1 per die to damage rolls with Missile spells (including explosive missiles). This increases to +2 per die if that skill is at Ranged Base +2 or higher.
• Smooth draw: If you also have Heroic Spellslinger (above), the penalty to both the spellcasting and attack rolls when you cast and throw a Missile spell in a single turn is reduced to −1.
• Juggler's hands: While holding a Missile spell in hand, you can still cast other spells, but at a −3 penalty (as if concentrating on another spell). If you cast a second Missile spell, you can hold that one as well, though this occupies both hands.
