 Mana Remnants Conjures surging lightning to restore your Mana. While active, Shocked enemies you kill have a chance to spawn a Mana Remnant, and Critically Hitting a Shocked target spawns a Mana Remnant every few seconds. Picking up a Mana Remnant grants you Mana which can Overflow maximum Mana.
 Herald of Thunder While active, killing Shocked enemies with Attack damage, will cause subsequent Attack hits to release lightning bolts which deals Attack damage to all surrounding enemies.
 Tempest Bell Build Combo by successfully Striking Enemies with other skills. After reaching maximum Combo, use this skill to cause the Bell on your staff to grow to massive size as you drop it on the ground. The Bell damages enemies on impact and can be Hit by your skills, creating a damaging shockwave. Elemental Ailments applied to the Bell cause its shockwaves to deal extra damage of the corresponding type, and Hits which would have caused Knockback increase the area of effect of the shockwaves.
 Charged Staff Consume all Power Charges to infuse your Quarterstaff with electricity, adding Lightning damage and a Lightning shockwave to your Quarterstaff Attacks. Reusing this skill while the Buff is active adds to the Buff's duration and damage.
 Shattering Palm Dash to an enemy and strike them with an unarmed attack that manifests a wave of cold, coating nearby enemies in shards of Ice. Dealing enough damage to these enemies will shatter the shards, causing an icy explosion that deals Attack Damage. This skill always strikes with your bare fist, even if you have a quarterstaff equipped.
 Whirling Assault Advance while hitting enemies around you with a series of spinning strikes.
 Reaper's Invocation While active, this invocation gains energy when you kill an enemy with a Melee Attack. Using the invocation once sufficient energy is gathered will consume the energy to trigger socketed Spells, and can trigger them multiple times if it has enough energy.
