Difference between revisions of "Desiccation (skill)"

The [[Teradrim (class)|Teradrim]] exert their will on the land, draining it of moisture, energy, and life. This is the art of '''Desiccation''', the magic of the Earthen. Desiccation revolves around creating regions of sand which empower the Teradrim's abilities. At higher levels of skill, this can be manipulated into a great sandstorm which substantially empowers the Teradrim's offense.
