* An earlier version of this skill had a much more complicated operation. For details, see: [[Disintegrate (July 2011)]].
<br>__TOC__The best aspect of this skill is its speed and piercing ability. The instant the Wizard clicks the button, the laser beam stretches from her hand to the edge of the screen, hitting every monster in its path. This makes it very useful against distant enemies, as the beam can reach them long before they can advance, or even fire their own projectiles across the level. The drawback is a heavy resource cost and less damage than single target attacks. Note that a more powerful form of Disintegrate exists while in [[Archon]] form.  
==Background==
A [[Wizard]] can call forth a death ray of Arcane energies to make matter simply vanish.
==Skill Rune Effects==
The following is a very quick summary. See Refer to the [[Disintegrate rune effects]] page article for a more thorough description descriptions of all five rune effectsin this skill, or any of the individual rune pages for numbersincluding screenshots, screenshotsvideos, blue quotesstrategy tips, and much moreother related information.
{{skill description header}}
The spell previously gained bonus damage to a single target with a longer lock on, but this feature seem to have been removed as of the beta test. Conversely, Disintegrate formerly did 20% less damage to each additional target, but this also seems to have been removed as of the beta.
The skill is enormously effective against large groups of weak enemies, and can kill dozens or monsters in a blink as the player hoses the beam across the advancing hordes. It is less effective against larger enemies, and is ill-suited to killing big bosses since the damage is not high enough and the resource cost drain grows excessive. 
===Range and Speed===
You see it falling far short of the edge in the screenshot to the right, but that is somewhat misleading, since the steep stairway in that image forced the "camera" to remain up higher, giving a longer view than you normally see in the game.
