Notes

• Despite the animation, all damage is connected in one single bundle.
• This skill is the only single-target spell (cast by players) capable of hitting hidden enemies. However, it must be cast while the enemy is still visible.
• Since this is not a Bolt skill (despite being triggered by Vanilmirth's Caprice), it is completely unaffected by Double Bolt and cannot be used in conjunction with Spell Fist.
• In addition to Level 1 Stone Curse, Sage classes also have a prerequisite of Level 1 Endow Quake while Super Novices have a prerequisite of doing the Expansion Quest instead. Wizard classes only require Level 1 Stone Curse.
