Primal Shock	2	Control	-	(★)	-	Yes
Choose a friendly Faction warbeast in the spellcaster's control range. Target a model within 8" of the chosen warbeast and make a magic attack against it. The chosen warbeast is the attack's point of origin. If the enemy model is hit, it suffers a damage roll with a POW equal to the warbeast's base STR.							Edit this spell template

Rules Clarification : Primal Shock (Edit)
Let's call the friendly warbeast the "Primed" model and the attack target the "Shocked" model.

The "Primed" model is not a channeler so won't be affected by stuff like Arcane Annihilation
- However, for targeting, concealment bonuses, etc, it works very similar to channeling. That's what "point of origin" means (refer core rule book).
You can "Prime" a warbeast that is engaged in melee.
Primal Shock is not affected by range reducing effects (such as Mage Static). For "Priming" the range is CTRL, which cannot be reduced. For "Shocking", choosing a target within 8" is not a range (in the normal sense).
The "Shock" can gain any benefits that apply vs the target. For example if your warlock is affected by Beast Lore (+d6 damage vs warbeasts) and you "Shock" an enemy warbeast, you'll get that +d6.
The "Shock" uses base STR, not current STR. Thus STR buffs (such as Rage) will not affect the "Shock".
You can "Shock" a friendly model and it will cause no damage to it. (Infernal Ruling)
When you choose the "Primed" model, you are not targeting it with a spell so anti-magic stuff like Arcane Vortex won't trigger.
However when you choose the "Shocked" model you are, and the anti-magic stuff can trigger.
(Infernal Ruling)
