Tornado Shot
Fire a skyward shot that whips up a Tornado where it lands, dealing Physical damage over time and Hindering enemies standing in it. Arrows, thrown Spears and Crossbow bolts fired at the Tornado are sucked into it, causing the Tornado to spit out a ring of copied Projectiles. Copied Projectiles cannot be copied again, even by further Tornados.
Very solid choice with strong damage or utility for most builds.
