Sent when:
Fires for the moment of impact for every ability. This is where damage should be applied, fireballs explode, enemies get poisoned etc. We assume that stamina/mana have been deducted when the ability was triggered (COMMAND_PENDING stage)

Usage

case EVENT_TYPE_ABILITY_CAST_IMPACT:
{
object oItem = GetEventObject(ev, 1); // the item used to cast the ability (optional)
object oTarget = GetEventObject(ev, 2); // the object that the ability was targeted>

// insert event-handling code here

break;
}

note: in case of a projectile impact, there might be more than one target (object 2+...) this allows doing things like lightning bolts going through targets, but this is not currently made use of in Dragon Age.
