A Magus hits a wizard with his sword and activates Lingering Pain, then the wizard (prior to the beginning of the magus’s next turn) try to cast a spell, but fails the concentration check (forced by the lingering damage). Does this count for the activation of Disruptive Recall?
Spell failure from Lingering Pain would activate Disruptive Recall, since Lingering Pain isn’t causing new damage, it’s just using the previous melee attack to disrupt, which meets the necessary clause of Disruptive Recall... the only issue you might have is in the text of Disruptive Recall. Disruptive Recall says “you can immediately use your spell recall class feature to regain a magus spell you have already cast.”
There’s a lot of argument over statements like this. A lot of people are saying you *can* use the ability as it’s written, meaning it takes a swift/immediate action, and another party says you can use the ability without using up any action. Personally I’m in the ‘it’s a free action’ group..
