Weapon Infusion	Magic infuses your weapon. It deals an additional 1d6⁠⁠Force damage and gains the  Light and  Thrown properties. If thrown, it immediately reappears in your hand.

How to learn

Classes:

• Class level 3: Wild Magic Barbarian

Bugs

• This version of Rage is usable when already affected by Rage once the Barbarian reaches level 9.
• The condition which is responsible for blocking spell casting while under the effects of Rage is not immediately applied when using Rage: Wild Magic, and is instead applied after the Wild Magic surge occurs. This leaves a very brief moment, before the Wild Magic surge, where a Wild Magic Barbarian can still cast spells while under the effects of Rage.
