{{AB
|skillname = Sandstorm
|syntax = SAND STORM [RELEASE]
|description =
By standing within a location with summoned sand, you may stir it into the skies around you
generating one of the main tools of the Teradrim; the sand storm. The sand storm will follow you
should you move.
 
Once summoned, the storm will periodically deal bleeding damage to your enemies, depending on the
strength of the storm. The storm will increase by one level every four seconds you stand upon
summoned sand. If you are not standing upon sand, the time is doubled instead.
 
There are five levels of sandstorm - once your sandstorm is at its maximum strength, you may use a
number of sand abilities (marked with *) free of equilibrium. However, this will reduce the
sandstorm by two levels to do so.
 
Slice is an exception to this rule, and may be used at moderate or higher for no equilibrium cost
providing your target is in the same location as you.
 
Levels:
-------
scarce
light
moderate
severe
massive
 
To do this, append 'storm' to the end of the command for your attack. e.g. SAND WHIP <target> STORM.
You can also optionally include a storm level, to prevent the ability form being cast if your
sandstorm isn't at that level. e.g. SAND SLICE <target> MASSIVE.
