Overview
Wrathion's Molten Eruptions unleash Molten Pools throughout the space, consuming 50 energy. When all his energy is depleted, Wrathion melds into the shadows and inflicts Burning Madness on enemies and transforms all Molten Pools into Crackling Shards. While hidden in the shadows, Wrathion regains energy, and once fully recharged returns to the fight space and turns any remaining Crackling shards into Lava Pools.
