Spellstrike — Frequency Until recharged
Effect Warder-Chief Mpondo Casts a Spell that takes 1 or 2 actions to cast and requires a spell attack roll. The effects of the spell do not occur immediately but are imbued into the attack instead. Mpondo makes a melee Strike. The spell is coupled with the attack, using the attack roll result to determine the effects of both the Strike and the spell.
This counts as two attacks for Mpondo's multiple attack penalty, but don't apply the penalty until after he has completed the Spellstrike.
After Mpondo uses Spellstrike, he can't do so again until he recharges his Spellstrike as a single action, which has the concentrate trait. Mpondo also recharges his Spellstrike when he casts a conflux spell.
