Tumultuous Earthstorm
When Earthrager Ptah's remaining health reaches 50%, he generates a massive earthquake and disperses. Dustbone Horrors and Jeweled Scarabs rise from the sands, and pools of quicksand form.

Sand Vortex
A large tornado forms during the Tumultuous Earthstorm, and then slowly wanders around the sand. The sand vortex grabs any player that moves nearby, inflicting Physical damage every 2 seconds for 8 sec. The sand vortex then ejects the player out.
