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

 * Skill Trainer:
 * Avena (Maguuma Stade)
 * Dakk (Ember Light Camp)
 * Tengsao (The Amnoon Oasis)
 * Signet of Capture:
 * Maak Frostfiend (Witman's Folly)
 * Scale Fleshrend (Twin Serpent Lakes / Talmark Wilderness)
 * Skitt Skizzle (Ice Floe)
 * Wydd Kindlerun (The Wilds (Mission))

Usage

 * Glyph of Energy complements this spell well, because Maelstrom costs so much energy and causes exhaustion too.
 * Maelstrom is easily avoided by leaving the area of effect. That makes this skill more useful in PvE than in PvP (although this spell is very useful in the Tomb of the Primeval Kings warm up match).
 * The interrupting effect does not scale with the spell's linked attribute, so Maelstrom is useful even with no points in Water Magic.
