Volcano
Uplift a volcano from the earth, damaging enemies standing on it and releasing a spray of molten Projectiles. While the volcano persists, Slamming it will cause another Projectile spray. Channelling this Skill for longer makes the initial eruption more violent, but does not affect subsequent Projectile sprays.

Projectile Scaling
Extra projectiles (GMP) and Pierce/Chain/Fork dramatically multiply your clear. Choose based on mob density.
