Bustral waves his hand and staff mumbling arcane words of power. 3, 2" spheres of swirling energy appear before him and streak forward to hit Cyclops.
Force Barrage VS. Cyclops:3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4, 2) + 3 = 10
Force Barrage (3 actions). No Shield. AC=16.
Force Barrage:
one-three actions; Concentrate; Force; Manipulate; Range: 120'; Targets: 1 creature
You fire a shard of solidified magic toward a creature that you can see. It automatically hits and deals 1d4+1 force damage. For each additional action you use when Casting the Spell, increase the number of shards you shoot by one, to a maximum of three shards for 3 actions. You choose the target for each shard individually. If you shoot more than one shard at the same target, combine the damage before applying bonuses or penalties to damage, resistances, weaknesses, and so forth.
Heightened (+2) You fire one additional shard with each action you spend.
confused. wouldn't the reaction's description state when it takes effect?
Bustral has Recognize Spell feat. it states it takes effect as long as the player is aware of a spell being cast.
Recognize Spell:
reaction; General; Secret; Skill
PFS Note: The DC to Recognize an Uncommon or Rare spell should be the normal DC +2 or +5 based on rarity and spell level.
Prerequisites: trained in Arcana, Nature, Occultism or Religion
Trigger: A creature within line of sight casts a spell that you don’t have prepared or in your spell repertoire, or a trap or similar object casts such a spell. You must be aware of the casting.
If you are trained in the appropriate skill for the spell’s tradition and it’s a common spell of 2nd rank or lower, you automatically identify it (you still roll to attempt to get a critical success, but can’t get a worse result than success). The highest rank of spell you automatically identify increases to 4 if you’re an expert, 6 if you’re a master, and 10 if you’re legendary. The GM rolls a secret Arcana, Nature, Occultism, or Religion check, whichever corresponds to the tradition of the spell being cast. If you’re not trained in the skill, you can’t get a result better than failure.
Critical Success: You correctly recognize the spell and gain a +1 circumstance bonus to your saving throw or your AC against it.
Success: You correctly recognize the spell.
Failure: You fail to recognize the spell.
Critical Failure: You misidentify the spell as another spell entirely, of the GM’s choice.
Bustral browls, "Not good!" as he starts to cast. An arc of lightning soars through the air striking Red and the large creature...

You raise a magical shield of force. This counts as using the Raise a Shield action, giving you a +1 circumstance bonus to AC until the start of your next turn, but it doesn't require a hand to use.
While the spell is in effect, you can use the Shield Block reaction with your magic shield. The shield has Hardness 5. You can use the spell's reaction to reduce damage from any spell or magical effect, even if it doesn't deal physical damage. After you use Shield Block, the spell ends and you can't cast it again for 10 minutes.
Heightened (+2) The shield's Hardness increases by 5.
"I remember reading the same information as Rorlu about the Sleepless Suns and the exploits of Shristi Melipdra.: adds Bustral. "I also agree that finding the Sewer Dragons would be the next logical step."
My biggest suggestion is to read the spells/abilities carefully. Thing have been changed that might have the same name.
I always put details in spoilers to clarify questions and to help move things along. It can get very confusing, esp. at higher levels, for everyone. Takes longer to post but worth it in my eye.
The search check is correct in format. Only thing wrong is all my dice rolls are maxed. (joking)

A 6', 300# mechanical man stands to the side. His explorer's clothing, like his body, is a dark Green with a Golden Yellow inlay/trim. His single Red eye peers around the room categorizing everything. He leans on his slightly bent Metal Staff while a pale greenish-yellow light spell hovers 8' off the floor directly adjacent to his left shoulder.
He clears his throat and offers..."I a called Bustral. I am a Wizard if the 2nd order. I am from the School of Battle Magic and a student off the Staff Nexus discipline."
Coughing due to the dust, Bustral remembers flashes of the battels in his past ands continues fighting. He casts a spell and gestures towards the 2 brooms....
Electric Arc VS. Blue:2d4 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4
Electric Arc VS. Red:2d4 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5
NOTE: Not sure if I should roll each serrate or not.
Failed Save (1 action); Electric Arc (2 actions). AC: 16 until end of turn.
"A true Wizard is smart enough to know that pure power from one source pales in comparison to power from multiple sources." states Bustral. He then casts a spell while reaches over and gently touching Treader's bow, saying "With your permission, of course. The b

With the identification of the Shielding Salve, Bustral lightly taps himself on the head with his staff and whisper, "Pay attention." He then casts Shield on himself when the group goes to insert then next stone. He then starts concentrating on possible magical reactions to see if he can help identify the property of any reactions.
Bustral has Recognize Spell feat with Arcana/Occultism (T; +8); and Nature/Relegion (T; +5).

Just curious but Tuesday I tried to use Library Lore to see if I had read anything about Elle there that may help. I don't recall a response either way.
"Trying in the listed order is efficient. We should remember that the compass is very old and unknown which is why we are here. The fact that a stone doesn't LOOK like it will fit doesn't mean that the compass will not adapt itself to compensate magically." states Bustral. "Let me see what I can remember about the stones themselves from my studies."
Although uncertain at first, bits of memories of battle from his ancient past flash through his mind. "Well planed tactics indeed, Rorlue."
Bustral chooses to join in the training drills.
almost forgot. Bustral casts a yellowish-green light that floats 9' of the floor 2 feet away from his left shoulder. NOTE: if anyone else would like one, He can cast 3 more with a color of your choice to also follow you. Also note the current spell details.

"My apologies. I forgot myself in my examination. It was not my intension to be rude. I am called Bustral. I am a Wizard of the Second Order from the School of Battle Magic and student of the Staff Nexus discipline." says Bustral with a slightly stiff but formal bow.

I am not concerned with what people think. Agree or not it is up to you. Personally, I Feel that the Hero Points were invented to be used, not hoarded. I vote to give them to those who used them and/or did something beyond the "norm".
Like the Classes/Races, many spells changed more than just name-wise. That's why I list them in spoilers.
