All spells and attacks in Dominions 5 have an area of effect property, hereafter referred to as AoE, which determines how many (and sometimes which) entities they affect.

Weapons always target a single entity unless an AoE of 1 or more is specified.

Additional effects on weapons function the same way, and will either hit the same entity as the original weapon attack if no range property is specified, or the listed AoE, calculated from the square where the initial attack landed. →add pics

Generally found on self-buff spells, an effect with AoE caster only affects the unit that cast the spell, and cannot miss.

In the case of start of battle and auto spell items, they will affect the wearer of the item.

If a communion master casts a spell with AoE: Caster, its effects will also be applied to all active communion slaves. This includes the aforementioned effects triggered by items.
