That appears to be him melding.

EDIT: Here's some more...

The clouds begin to roil and darken as winds whip in from the four directions.
Soon, a tempestuous storm rocks the land, whipping the air with a formidable
fury.

Cririk sweeps his hands in a wide, encompassing gesture.
Gusts of wind form into howling squalls that blow in all directions.

So far he's caused a blizzard that blocks exits as well as windwalls in certain directions.

"windwall207285" a wall of wind
The wind swirls in a circular pattern, creating an almost invisible vortex.

Two things

1) What does a windwall do?

2) Remember there is also pyre, which does X damage but does a % of your health if you are already ablaze.

Yeah, I forsee TK being the top choice for pyromancers

That depends, if the meld likes to give things like slickness yeah I can see that. But if it does heavy damage TP might be better, damage + phantoms + claws could be nasty if damage gets high enough. Runes I dont see so much sad.gif and Weaving also isnt really good either cause of damage

Maybe they will have some sort of Pyroclast skill, where you can build bombs out of everyday things, and each sort has its own effect.

Oh yeah, Pyromancers probably have the best damn kill line ever. Its along the lines of blowing something to smithireens.
Rodngar2009-12-21 19:53:23
I have this funny idea that Aeromancers will be the ones more inclined to damage killing, really. My real hope is that the boulderblast/hailstorm/giantfireball of Aeromancy is GODDAMN CHAINLIGHTNING.

In case anyone was wondering Cririk is a Telepath.

You know, I'm wondering what Scuchi is. I'm betting TK.
Esano2009-12-22 01:58:23
Interesting. How is that possible, RPly? TP/TK/psionics as a whole was only developed recently, because of the whole mental parasites thing.

Unless it was another 'forgotten' ability, or they're supposed to have learned it quicksmart.

They probably have their own arches on Fire/Air

Given we don't know much about Aeromancy, but we know that Pyromancy is more TK-friendly because of slickness and ablaze, I'm wondering if Aeromancy will be more TP-friendly.

Passive ego-drain demesne effect?!
Lorina2009-12-22 23:24:54
From what I am probing from the first peeps. Aeromancy is TP friendly.
Lorina2009-12-23 00:41:42
Oh, also, Xiel has Aeromancy up now smile.gif

Any one else get dejavoo when hearing about the pyromancers and think of raptures and how those = fail?

The equivalent is Tempest however you will be happy to see there is Chainlightning.
