Flavor Text

A variant on a salamander specialty, Peculiar Light disperses radiance naturally emitted during spellcasting into a half-globe, clouding victims' vision. Thus unbeknownst to them, malignant aether lurking within the rapidly reflecting beams renders them more susceptible to further aetherial assaults.

Tips

Other Tips

Use this when following up with any magic type spells.
While it shares a cooldown with Off-guard, it also does not overwrite it (i.e., both effects can be active at the same time on an enemy).
