 Once cast, the whip persists without need for [[Spellcasting|concentration]]. The caster must still expend the appropriate [[Action Points|action points]] to attack with it, as with any weapon. While the whip remains active, no other spells may be cast. The caster may dismiss the whip at will, but doing so ends the spell immediately.

-'''Whip''' creates a material-appearing, magical whip-like force that can be used as a [[Weapons List|weapon]] in [[Combat|combat]], regardless of the caster's [[Weapon Proficiencies|proficiency]].  Any target up to 2 [[Combat Hex|combat hexes]] distance can be attacked.
+'''Whip''' is a spell that creates a tangible, magical lash that behaves as a weapon in the caster's hand. The dweomer forms a flexible, force-like strand that may be directed against any target within 2 [[Combat Hex|combat hexes]]. Use of the whip does not depend upon the caster's [[Weapon Proficiencies|proficiency]]; it is governed instead by the spell's own properties.

-The caster must apply the whip as though it were a weapon, expending the [[Action Points|action points]] necessary to use it as a weapon.  Once cast, however, the caster need not [[Spellcasting|concentrate]] to keep the spell active — however, the caster may not cast other spells while the whip is active.  It can be dispelled at any time, but the spell is lost once that happens.

+Any creature struck is forced back 1 hex, whether or not it is affected by [[Stun Lock|stun]]. This displacement is automatic and represents the whip's driving force. If no space exists for retreat, the target remains in place and suffers no additional consequence beyond damage.
-The whip can be used to '''disarm''', if it hits AC 5 or better.  A disarming hit allows the defender a [[Saving Throws|saving throw against magic]].  A successful save indicates the disarm has failed; otherwise, the weapon is knocked from the defender's hand, as a [[Critical Hits & Fumbles#Fumbles|fumble]].
+The whip may also be used to '''disarm'''. If the attack roll would strike AC 5 or better, the caster may choose to attempt disarm rather than deal damage. The defender must then make a [[Saving Throws|saving throw against magic]]. Failure results in the immediate loss of the held weapon, as though a [[Critical Hits & Fumbles#Fumbles|fumble]] had occurred; success negates the disarm.
 == Cracking the Whip ==
-If the caster chooses, the whip can be made to crack.  This will serve to keep creatures of between 1 and 4 [[Intelligence (ability stat)|intelligence]] at bay, to a distance of 15 ft. from the caster.  Like any other use of the spell, this can be sustained only for one round per level.
+The caster may cause the whip to emit a sharp, resounding crack. This use does not require a hit roll but expends the action for the round. Creatures with an [[Intelligence (ability stat)|intelligence]] of 1 to 4 will not willingly approach within 15 ft. of the caster while the cracking is maintained.
