Mana Tempest
Create a storm of arcane energies that Empowers your Mana-costing Spells while you remain inside it. Maintaining the storm constantly drains your Mana, and spending more causes it to drain faster. The storm will dissipate when you exit it or run out of Mana.
Very solid choice with strong damage or utility for most builds.
