'''Area of Effect''', or '''AoE''' is a general term for effects, skills, spells or abilities that will affect an area, and the inhabitants of that area, rather than a single target. Also known as '''Splash Damage''' or '''Line Damage'''.
Area of Effect spells are sometimes referred to as [[Area of Denial]] attacks, since they occupy some portion of the screen and deny access, forcing players to move elsewhere.
