You let forth a quick Tongue Strike damaging your target.

(Note: these came out with City of Villains (I6) and quickly started to appear in Paragon as well. Many consider them overpowered due to their debuffs and siphon life skills. If they turn Ethereal you lose the target on them too.)

  • FireBlast Inferno.png Kamikaze Suicide Special
    Circle Mages will detonate themselves in a crisis, and attempt to take a few foes with them.
  • DarkMiasma TwilightGrasp.pngTwilight Grasp Ranged -Acc, -Dam, Team Heal
    The Death Mage channels negative energy through himself to a targeted foe. Twilight Grasp drains the power from that target and slowly transfers it to yourself and all allies near you. The targeted foe´s accuracy and damage is reduced while you and your nearly allies are healed. Twilight Grasp can only heal you and your allies as long as there is a valid target to steal power from.
