As i believe the reason spells can crit when an attack is made is because they can be focused on more vital areas, but with a weapon of more accuracy to hitting vital areas it can be focused even more directly into the vital areas?Had the spell been an inflict wound spell it would inject the "poisonous" negative energy directly to the area.Had the spell been shocking grasp it would directly shock the tender area with electricity causing spasms (and i can only assume much more pain) in the muscle, nervous, or circulatory system.if your goal was to kill someone quicker would you rather shoot tazer prongs into their heart or their calf? Would you rather inject a syringe full of potassium into a major blood way or their arm?Not trying to get aggressive with my idea just attempting to explain my view on it and looking for feedback, thanks again by the way.</blockquote>
