So, a few animal companions, such as Ape and Bear, have support benefits with the wording of "if you hit and deal damage to a creature..."
Someone brought up that Force Barrage's text could potentially trigger this - "it automatically hits and deals 1d4+1 force damage."
Is this an intended interaction? By RAW, it seems like it works - but I question whether or not it's RAI. Especially with the potential to hit a very large number of creatures with the likes of Bear's d8s of damage, or Ape's frightened. Also consider Wand of Shardstorm.
