[edit] Notes

While the skill description states the next spell casts instantly, the next spell actually casts in 1/4 second.
  • Synergizes with skills that cause you to lose all energy anyway such as Ether Lord and Rebirth.
  • Works well when you have skills that profit from precise timing and have a long cast, such as Diversion, or when you have skills that would almost drain your energy anyway, such as Well of Profane.
  • Switching to a lower energy set will allow you to use this glyph, swap weapon sets, and have energy left over.
  • Works well with Ether Prodigy because the energy gets removed before the spell is cast. Therefore you circumvent the health loss.
  • Energy gain skills such as Auspicious Incantation or Attunements will not help to counter the Energy loss, as it happens after the gain from these skills, leaving you at 0 Energy.
