Forspoken’s Dangerous Magic: 20 Combat Spells We’ve Seen So Far

Shot – This basic spell, like the rest of the attack magic in this list, is mapped to the right trigger and doesn’t require a cooldown. It does not deal any damage. These small, bullet-like explosions can be compared to throwing stones at your enemies rather than using more war-ready projectiles.

Burst Shot – The first version of this spell we saw indicated it was at level 3, which clued us in to the fact that you can upgrade various magic attacks. You can use Burst Shot to create a glowing piece of rock that your hand holds, and you can throw it at enemy.

Slice – Among the most visually exciting spells we saw in Forspoken, Slice conjures a magical sword dripping with fiery sparks. As you swing the weapon, the shimmering red magic takes flight.

Arc Slice – Call up that fire sword once more to execute a powerful downswing blow, dropping the unlucky target of your fury to the ground. It hits harder if you’re in midair, but the range is limited if your feet are off the ground.

Blast Slice – Requiring a little more range than its counterparts, Blast Slice generates a weapon that looks like a cross between a spear and a lightning bolt. This weapon can also be used to attack hostile creatures and the area around it.

Bolt – Lob a blue orb at enemies that looks a little bit like a glimmering snowball. It won’t cause much harm, but you can chuck the wintery ball of magic repeatedly without running out.

Fan Bolt – Another upgradable spell, Fan Bolt takes the blue orb from the former spell and splits it into multiple, arrow-like projectiles. This allows you to take out multiple enemies at once by shooting them in horizontal rows.

Cluster Bolt – One of creative producer Raio Mitsuno’s favorite attacks, this spell fires a single mystical arrow into the sky. The shaft falls, and it shatters, causing damage to everything underneath.

Dart – This magical attack works very much like Shot. Instantaneously, greenish-colored bursts that look like a knife spring from your hand and hit a target. You seem to have an endless supply, but they’re not very powerful.

Pulse Dart – Before sending another blast of green at your enemies, this spell – which can be leveled up – lets you charge the attack in your hand for a second. This will result in a significantly stronger barrage of darts.
