Both attacks with weapons and effects from magic, priestly powers or wayfinding abilities (henceforth grouped under metaphysical abilities) may cause effects other than (or in addition to) damage. These will be called using the name of the effect. If an attack or ability also does damage, and the blow struck you rather than a weapon/shield you are holding, then the damage call will be combined with the effect call. For example, a STRIKEDOWN call will make you fall to the ground, a DOUBLE STRIKEDOWN call will also do two points of damage if it struck your body. Unless you have an ability that explicitly states otherwise, you cannot apply more than one effect call to a single blow or casting. | Both attacks with weapons and effects from magic, priestly powers or wayfinding abilities (henceforth grouped under metaphysical abilities) may cause effects other than (or in addition to) damage.
