Enhancement types allowed

Enhancement Sets Allowed

You are a vortex, and as such you create a constant whirlwind effect around yourself. Any foes that come near you will be struck by debris from your funnel cloud, suffering smashing damage. Visibility is also reduced, lowering the chance to hit of affected targets. Additionally, flying foes will be brought to the ground.
