Arcane Orb

Tooltip

Creates an orb of volatile Arcane energy that will detonate unless absorbed by a player. Standing in the orb causes the player to absorb the volatile energies; but the player suffers Arcane damage as long as they do so.
Standing in the orb long enough absorbs the orb entirely.

How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Arcane Orb.

What it does
