Skill Design

Not much is known about this skill, how it works or how it looks. It is probably used for taking out ranged monsters who pack together to spam attacks on you, although it can also be used as an area denial tool, or better yet, cast it on yourself and watch the melee monsters burn as they try to get to you.
