@Eddymage I read "as per enlarge/reduce" as the same as the spell enlarge/reduce - which is how I think others have read it, too. Getting the full text would be better, but I don't think it's a close reason. But I wouldn't reopen if it gets closed without it.
@Eddymage That's what prompted the bounty on the spirit weapon "who is the attacker" question!
I think your answer is fine save for trying to have it both ways. Considering the caster the attacker, which is how we ended up doing it, it isn't automatically a critical.
