Description
Target foe loses 4...9 Energy and takes 8 damage for each point of Energy lost.

Usage Notes
This skill is a high-damage single target nuke for all intents and purposes. Assuming your opponent has any reasonable amount of mana remaining you can expect this skill to hit for more than 50 every time, while draining that mana of course. Actual damage ranges from 32 to 72 as you increase your Domination Magic.

It has a moderate energy cost and casts fairly quickly, but its 20 second reuse timer will dash your hopes of chain-nuking enemies to death.

In PvP this skill is a great damage dealer for when you see an enemy who just needs a little more help to put him in the grave. I wouldn't go throwing this skill out right away or at just anyone though because of its long recharge. Just wait patiently for someone to get hurt then finish them off. I wouldn't rely on this skill as your main focus, but it does come in handy quite a bit.

For PvE the use of the skill is the same, just use it to dish out a good amount of damage to a single target. Most effective on already weak enemies to kill them outright, but if you have some extra mana you can throw it in anytime.
