Maelstrom

Description
Create a maelstrom at target foe's location. For 10 seconds, foes in that area are struck for 10...22 cold damage each second. Maelstrom interrupts spell-casting when it hits. This spell causes exhaustion.

Acquisition

 * Maguuma Stade: Trainer, Avena
 * Signet of Capture:
 * The Wilds (Mission): Wydd Kindlerun
 * Twin Serpent Lakes / Talmark Wilderness: Scale Fleshrend

Usage

 * Using Glyph Of Energy is a good idea with this spell, because this spell costs so much energy and causes exhaustion too
 * Maelstrom is probably the most powerful spell Elementalist has against other spellcasters
 * Maelstrom is easily avoided by leaving the area of effect. That makes this skill more useful in PvE than in PvP (Altough this spell with Glyph of Sacrifice is great way to stop Unholy Elementalist in the Tomb of the Primeval Kings warm up match)
 * Since the interrupting effect is not linked to anything this spell is powerful even with low rank in Water Magic
