Whirlwind

Whirlwind is a unique wind elemental spell that generates a powerful vortex of wind centered around the wielder. The wielder stands at the center of this powerful and visible vortex storm, safe from the effects as they are at the eye of this vortex. Everything outside that comes in contact with this vortex is blasted with 100 Mile per Hour winds that are designed to inflict wind elemental magical slashing damage over a duration of time. Whirlwind has such a strong windy vortex, that it can totally dissipate any incoming electrical attacks, and throw projectile attacks far off course. The visibility from the vortex also obscures the wielder using it, making it hard to determine their visual location from outside. All of this makes Whirlwind the ultimate offensive and defensive hybrid spell.

Gestures & Ritual

While the vortex generally surrounds the wielder while protecting them from the outside effects, more advanced wielders may learn how to alter the spawned location of Whirlwind, changing its exterior damaging area to spawn right on top of their enemy target to more quickly score a direct hit of damage. In the process, this extra process consumes more MP energy and requires a tremendous amount of practice in energy displacement relocation.
