[edit] Notes
- This is one of the few Spells that makes full use of Glyph of Energy.
- Using Water Magic Hexes like Deep Freeze or Ice Spikes can help keep foes in the AoE.
- Because the skill hits only once every second for 10 seconds, it is possible to cast spells in between the hits, although that spell will have to have a casting time of less than 1 second.
[edit] Trivia
- A maelstrom is a stronger version of a whirlpool.
