==Skill Design==
In the This [[BlizzCon 2009skill]] demois basically a short-range nova centered around the Wizard, on a short time delay. Since the Wizard can move after activating it, she can select it, Flux never got to use this skillrun into the midst of a pack of monsters, [http://wwwthen laugh when they go boom.diii The spell's delay (about 1.net/blog/comments/full-wizard-skill-trees/]5 seconds) makes it unsuitable for emergency use, but from what he observed it worked something like a and its short range hand grenade; hitting for considerable damage(at least at level 1) makes it difficult to use without getting pounded on. Skill runes will undoubtably make it more viable, but only striking enemies in the immediate areaand less a novelty skill.
