Skills and Abilities[edit]
- Fright Force
- A basic ranged attack dealing minor magic damage.
- Pool of Shadow
- The enemy slams their staff into the ground, creating a pool of dark energy all around them, indicated by a circular AoE, which lingers for a time and deals constant moderate magic damage when inside.
- Shadeway
- The enemy casts a spell that shoots out pools of corrupted magic along the ground, indicated by red circles, each dealing moderate magic damage. This can be interrupted to set them off-balance.
- Shadowy Duplicate
- The enemy teleports a short distance away, leaving a Shadow in their place. The shadow will cast Fright Force dealing minor magic damage until it is killed. When killed, it explodes which deals moderate magic damage in an area and leaves a Pool of Shadow in its place.
