Abilities & Strategy
Overview
The Maiden of Vigilance has been partially corrupted by the Legion, and wields both Holy and Fel magic in equal proportion. Periodically, the Maiden infuses all players with either Light Infusion or Fel Infusion. When players with opposing auras move too close together, the magics react, triggering Unstable Soul. Making contact with, or taking damage from, energy of the opposite element also triggers Unstable Soul. In Mythic difficulty, Fragments not collected by players will trigger Fragment Burst. Additionally, Blowback will remove stacks of Creator's Grace and Demon's Vigor.
