Head smack happened to me when wording from winter mobs and I killed himself. Was not blinded or dirted, just recalled from mid-fight I think that's when it happens. |

To me it makes sense. You cast the spell (or commune, I don’t judge, it’s 2018) frantically and the repercussions are that you aren’t able to tap into the arcane properly (commune with the Gods too frantically, your commune is granted and they hear the intensity of your prayers). The force of your spell causes you to pop out at such a velocity that you injure yourself.
If I recall this change was implemented because someone was recalling whenever they were losing a fight (which was like every time) and the playerbase complained. I can’t recall for the life of me who it was that was abusing the spell. Oh well, I guess that character and the name of the player is just lost to the ages. |

A blinded recall in combat was the situation. |

I am pretty sure that a few days ago one of my Char's recalled and was blinded, got the head smack thing, but the damage was way bigger than a scratch.
I want to say that it was a demolishes or something near to that. I was pretty surprised because I never remembered having any significant damage happen when doing it.
Not sure if it's random or what. It was done with my Illusionist for reference.
I firmly believe that the damage should be limited in some way, but also that there should remain a fairly good chance to incur some damage at least. Just not really severe amounts. |

Never seen anything more than injures/ grazes on a head smack from recall. Maybe it was a delayed damage skill. |

I worded from Evermore. Not dirted nor blinded, was just engaged with 6+ mobs.
Headsmack did injures and got me incap and dead.

So we know this mechanic exists but we don't understand exactly how it works. I volunteer Taor to figure out what conditions make the head smack happen, and what determines how hard it is.
Kidding obviously. But seriously, one of the great things about this game compared to others is the lack of data mining. |

he probably had residual dirt kick from one of the trash there. he could see but he was still technically blinded as he had that dirt immunity. IE rubs the dirt out but your eyes are still blurry. tons of mobs dirt kick there. |
