Snap

Consume the elemental energy from a Frozen, Shocked or Ignited enemy, creating an elemental blast that leaves behind an Infusion Remnant. The blast will spread to other enemies affected by the same Ailment, but those blasts cannot spread further. Can also be cast on a Frostbolt to create a larger cold blast.
