Combining [[magic]]al force and air, the [[Wizard]] brings a continuous, but time limited, twister out of the aether to destroy enemies.

This one was impressive, but very unpredictable. The graphic is great; you can see that in the gameplay movie from [[BlizzCon 2009]], and it does more in more or less a straight line, but without some sort of tank it wasn't very easy to hit enemies with. [[Arcane Orb]] was nearly as damaging, far easier to aim, and cheaper on the [[mana]]. This [[Wizard]] just has so many cool active spells to try out it's impossible to get a handle on everything in a short play time.
==Skill Rank Table==
''Put a table of the skill rank and damage/mana/fury per rank.''
* '''Rank 1:''' 10 damage per second.
Only Rank 1 is currently known.
==Synergies==
* None known.
==[[Rune|Skill Rune]] Effects==
* None known.
==Development==
The Energy Twister was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2008]], then named [[Tornardo]]. Why it changed name is unknown, but the functionality is roughly the same. The skill is assumed to still be available in Blizzard's internal game build today.
