Skill Design
The first active damaging skill in the Voodoo Skill Tree, which, has even more active damaging skills. Quite useful, spending 5 skill points into it won't be a waste, it has good damage and a nice range and a very small cooldown. It can be enhanced with Skill Runes, essentially changing the skill in some way or another.
