When you overkill an enemy with Arcane Strike, you may pick another enemy and roll to hit them with the same Arcane Strike, or more accurately, what is left of it. If you hit, deal damage equal to the overkill damage.
Do not add extra damage to this attack.
This attack jumps from the overkilled enemy’s position to the new target.
(Overkill is doing damage in excess of the damage required to reduce a target to 0 HP.)
