eldritch blast
Class: warlock : 1
Syntax: cast CLASS eldritch blast on TARGET

This is the core spell-like ability of the warlock - the ability to invoke pure planar energy and hurl it at a foe. As it is cast as a ray, it requires a successful ranged touch attack to hit, and is subject to the usual restrictions of spells and spell-like abilities (eg/ magic resistance). While initially unremarkable, an accomplished warlock can learn to reshape such a blast, or to imbue it with various essences.\nSee also: <help blasttype>, soul burn.
