According to the messaging, the zombie is knocked down by this cast of 1210, but it remained standing.

Other 1210 crits that say they knock down do result in the target getting knocked down, so it may just be this particular crit.

[Abandoned Farm, Cellar]
The earthen walls of the cellar are deeply gouged by claw marks. Dirt and dust rise as you move through the room, obscuring your vision and clogging your nose and throat. You also see an acid-pitted iron trunk and a zombie.
Obvious exits: north, southwest

You take a deep breath and focus inward, raising a hand and quietly murmuring the words of the Thought Lash spell...
Your spell is ready.
You gesture at a zombie.
A crackling whip of energy lashes out at the a zombie!
CS: +119 - TD: +69 + CvA: +25 + d100: +54 == +129
Warding failed!
... 30 points of damage!
Hard maneuver throws the zombie to the ground. Lands painfully on his back.
The residual psychic energy from the attack surrounds a zombie.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

>look at zombie

You see a fairly typical zombie.
He has some minor cuts and bruises on his back.
He has some tattered rags (worn).

I neither have the mana nor the CS to have much if any successive hits with it. It claims to be making subsequent UAC hits more damaging, but its not obvious to me that there is any significant increase. However, I don't have the relevant lore, so there may not be supposed to be a significant boost.

You really need a mental bias rather than my physical bias training to make much use of this I think. I use 1207 quite a bit, but 1210 is just playing around when I happen to have spare mana and a critter with poor TD/CvA to target.

This should now be resolved. Thanks for reporting it.

As an aside, how is this spell? It sounds really cool. How does it work with subsequent casts?

Thought Lash (1210) is one of my favorite new spells. If we ever release Savants, I fully expect most of them will cast this spell first when engaging a creature. Since it uses grapple crits, it has an excellent chance to disable (knock down, stun, etc) and it makes all followup attacks stronger. Without any lore, it increases the crit rank of any followup attack by 1.

Pre- or post- crit randomization?

Speaking to you, Ceyrin asks, "Do you spontaneously come back to life when you die?"
Speaking to you, Ceyrin says, "Because I do."
You say, "Yes. I have a condition called Annoraxia.""

So when this spell effects "follow up attacks", what does this apply to? Everything?

If so, does that included UAC, bolt spells, melee attacks, CS warding spells, and maneuver spells?

I'm certainly imagining the potential of this spell with a claidh swinging savant. Especially one using Sigil of Major Bane. Whew.

Bet this spell makes for great group hunting.
