Crusader Strike is a core paladin ability. It is an instant weapon strike that grants a charge of holy power, can activate procs, and counts as a single-target melee attack for purposes of the paladin's active seal. This ability is a melee special ability, not an actual spell, and therefore it is not affected by [Silence] or spell school locking abilities (the others being [Divine Storm] and [Hammer of the Righteous]). Like other strikes, however, it does not work with any [Disarm] effects on. All damage dealt by the attack is physical.
