Tips
- Because they all inflict the same debuff,
Bleeding, the damage over time part of this spell does not stack with 
Aetherial Spark or 
Nightbloom.
- Nightbloom is the strongest of the three. It totals 1,900 potency (or 1,700 to secondary targets).
Song of Torment is a single-target spell, totaling 825 potency with 
Bristle (or 550 potency without it).- Aetherial Spark is an AoE, totaling 450 potency per target with Bristle (or 300 potency per target without it).
- Generally speaking: Apply Nightbloom if it's available. When its damage-over-time finishes, use Bristle and either Song of Torment on 1 target, or Aetherial Spark on 2+ targets, as filler until Nightbloom is available again.
- While it shares a recast time with
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
Moon Flute's 
Waxing Nocturne, which will snapshot the buffed damage-over-time.
