Phantasmal Arrow
Fires an arrow that embeds where it lands for a short duration. At the end of the duration, the arrow explodes in spectral flame, turning it to ashes and damaging enemies, with a high chance to Ignite. Igniting any enemy with the Explosion also applies Ignite to enemies within range.
Very solid choice with strong damage or utility for most builds.
