The Wizard calls down a shower of small meteors to create a living inferno where she directs it.

Skill Design

The Meteor skill from D2 has been upgraded and modified. Now it calls down multiple meteors over a wider area, much like the Blizzard spell. Furthermore, Meteor Storm can be cast for as long as the Wizard wishes, with a mana cost per second, rather than per use.

Exactly where the meteors come from is of course unclear, as most places in the Diablo games have some sort of roof...
