Oil Barrage
Shapeshift into a Wyvern and spit Oil at enemies, creating Oil Ground where the Projectiles land. Consumes Power Charges if possible to instead Channel a sustained barrage of electrified Oil that does not create Oil Ground. Projectiles are fired in sequence, allowing multiple Projectiles to Hit the same target.
Very solid choice with strong damage or utility for most builds.
