What Storm does
Current rulesTreat Storm as an eligibility tag, not a shared damage formula. Firestorm consumes Elemental Infusions to change its storm, Icestorm consumes Chill and Freeze for improved bolts, Thunderstorm applies Drenched and Overgrows Plants, Mana Tempest empowers Mana-costing Spells while draining Mana, and Tornado absorbs Elemental Ground. Storm-specific Supports can move eligible Storms or change their Limit, but only when the target Skill and its own restrictions match.
- Storm is a Skill tag
- Storm identifies long-duration weather-based Skills that can receive Storm-specific interactions. It does not determine whether the Skill is an Attack, Spell, Hit, damage over time, or a particular element.
- Every Storm defines its own weather effect
- Impact frequency, radius, duration, damage type, target limit, and secondary effects belong to the individual Skill. There is no universal Storm duration or impact rate.
- Active limits are skill-specific
- Some Storm Skills state a maximum number active at once. Creating another effect at its Limit normally removes the oldest, while a Skill without a modifiable Limit does not benefit from a modifier that adds to Storm Skill Limit.
- Duration controls persistence
- Duration and Skill Effect Duration can change how long a duration-based Storm remains. They do not automatically change impact frequency, damage per impact, Mana drain, or a separate active Limit.
- Sustained Storms hit on their own cadence
- Firestorm, Icestorm, and Thunderstorm repeat effects while active. Their per-target Hit restrictions and impact timing are properties of those Skills, not a global Storm rule.
- Storm supports can reposition effects
- Advancing Storm makes supported Storms appear at the user and move toward the target. Morgana's Tempest increases Limit and moves the Storm quickly, but makes it less effective and cannot support Triggered Skills.
- Storm names can be misleading
- Elemental Storm is currently tagged Orb rather than Storm and does not gain a Storm Limit bonus. Gathering Storm is a Channelling Travel Attack without the Storm tag.
- Some transformed skills carry Storm
- Apocalypse and Archon of Chayula include Storm among their current tags, but their Glory requirements, transformations, triggered effects, and damage rules remain specific to those Skills.

Advancing Storm changes where supported Storms appear and how they travel. Morgana's Tempest also raises Limit, but carries an effectiveness penalty and excludes Triggered Skills.

mechanicWind SkillsWind is a Skill tag used by attacks and spells with wind-specific interactions. The tag does not provide one shared damage type or behaviour: current Wind Skills include Melee attacks, Projectiles, damage over time, Whirlwinds, Tornados, and Shapeshift attacks.
mechanicDurationDuration is the length of time a skill component, Buff, Debuff, Ailment, Curse, Mark, Minion, Totem, Flask effect, Charm effect, Hazard, or delayed event remains active. Each duration modifier applies only to the effect type it names.
mechanicLimitCertain skills can only have a limited number of effects active at once.
mechanicTriggerA Trigger causes a skill to occur immediately when its stated condition is met. A Triggered skill has no attack or cast time for that activation, usually targets the cause of the Trigger, and does not count as a skill you used.
mechanicSpellA Spell is a skill with the Spell tag. Any base damage, Cast Time, and base Critical Hit Chance it lists come from the skill rather than the inherent damage, Attack Speed, or base Critical Hit Chance on a weapon.
mechanicPlantPlant Skills create persistent plants, vines, fissures, pustules, or ground effects. Certain water-based Skills and other explicit effects can Overgrow them, applying the distinct Overgrown benefit written on each Plant Skill.
