The Witch Doctor spews fire from his mouth whilst bats fly into the flame, sending forth flaming bats to attack enemies in front of the Doctor.

Skill Design

This skill works much like the Sorceress' Inferno or the Druid's Arctic Blast, spewing the fire/ice in the direction of your mouse cursor until your mana runs out. The mana cost on this skill is quite high, and is practically unusable if you get it at lower levels. Hopefully, it is not final and will be balanced.
