A new level 0 spell called Arcane Blast (1700) has been released. All Pures (Wizards, Clerics, Empaths, Sorcerers, and Savants) will have innate knowledge of this spell and can simply PREPARE 1700 or ARCANEBLAST (or INCANT) to cast it. It requires no mana to cast, but does subject the caster to 5 seconds of roundtime. If cast from stance defensive or guarded, it cast a warding attack at the target. If cast from a higher stance, it will cast a bolt attack at the target. Holy Receptacle (325), Magic Item Creation (420), Haste (506), Rapid Fire (515), Charge Item (517), and Scroll Infusion (714) do not work with this spell.
It is our hope that this new ability will allow our players to play their characters as a caster from the start instead of relying on physical weapons due to mana constraints. We've updated the sprite quest to inform new characters of this new ability.

Bolt and Warding
1700 leveraged existing spell mechanics similarly to Hand of Tonis (505). If the spell is cast at either Guarded or Defensive Stance, an offensive warding spell will be cast.
If the same spell is cast from any more offensive stance will result in 1700 functioning like a bolt spell, resulting in impact damage.
The Bolt version of this spell appears identical to 901 for damage, while the warding version appears identical to 1201.
