__NOTOC__
==Flavor Text==
This extravagant technique belongs to Tsukuyomi, Lady of the Moon, whose malignant ire manifests as a field of flowers which then burst apart in a hail of deadly petals. Accept the inevitability of the grave, and the power of the nightbloom is yours to wield...

==Tips==
*Because they all inflict the same debuff, {{status effect|debuff|File:Bleeding blu icon.png}} '''[[Bleeding]]''', the damage over time part of this spell does not stack with {{action icon|Aetherial Spark}} or {{action icon|Song of Torment}}.
** {{action icon|Nightbloom}} is the strongest of the three. It totals 1,900 potency (or 1,700 to secondary targets).
** {{action icon|Song of Torment}} is a single-target spell, totaling 825 potency with {{action icon|Bristle}} (or 550 potency without it).
** {{action icon|Aetherial Spark}} is an AoE, totaling 450 potency per target with {{action icon|Bristle}} (or 300 potency per target without it).
** Generally speaking: Apply {{action icon|Nightbloom}} if it's available. When its damage-over-time finishes, use {{action icon|Bristle}} and either {{action icon|Song of Torment}} on 1 target, or {{action icon|Aetherial Spark}} on 2+ targets, as filler until Nightbloom is available again.
* While it shares a recast time with {{action icon|Both Ends}}, this spell is almost always superior to it due to its higher overall potency. (Both Ends is a 600 potency AoE.)
* Due to its high potency, it should be used under {{action icon|Moon Flute}}'s {{status effect|debuff|File:Waxing_Nocturne_buff.png}} [[Moon Flute|Waxing Nocturne]], which will snapshot the buffed damage-over-time.

__NOTOC__
==Flavor Text==
This spell, learned from the dhruva, summons forth a cluster of luminous projectiles which inflict multiple pinpoint wounds to all in their path. The jagged edges of these tiny lacerations bleed profusely, weakening the target and causing considerable pain.
