Notes

• The area of effect for Sharp Shooting is a little tricky and almost unique in the game. The line algorithm is likely the same as the one used for the final resting place of objects pushed by Arrow Repel.
• Maximum distance from the targeted object is 9 cells.
• The full damage area extends 12 cells from the caster, along the line from caster to target, as determined by a Bresenham-type algorithm, and the cells immediately tangent to this line. Covers 3x12 cells.
• Monsters in the 13th cell along the line receive reduced damage.
• The chance to land a critical hit is lowered by the enemy's Crit Shield.
