Voodoo Skills

The Voodoo tree focuses on offensive effects via short-time summoning spells. Like any skill tree focusing on any element of gameplay, it cannot be called a skill tree if it doesn't have signature skills that can actually kill. Luckily for us, the Voodoo tree has a lot of cool skills that makes enemies easy to kill, like Skull of Flame, Firebats and Locust Swarm.
