Entropy

Entropy: Bind an enemy with chaotic magic, dealing [6022 / 6096 / 6170 / 6246] Magic Damage over 20 seconds.

Degeneration: Cost: [2700 / 2610 / 2520 / 2430] Magicka.
Bind an enemy with chaotic magic, dealing 6192 Magic Damage over 20 seconds. Excess magic spills out from them, granting you Major Brutality and Sorcery, increasing your Weapon and Spell Damage by 20% for 20 seconds.

Structured Entropy: Bind an enemy with chaotic magic, dealing 6192 Magic Damage over 20 seconds, and healing you for [563 / 567 / 573 / 581] every 2 seconds.

Entropy deals Magic Damage over time to a single enemy. The Degeneration morph increases your Spell Damage, while Structured Entropy gives a heal over time effect.

NotesEdit

• Damage ticks every 2 seconds.
• If you have the only the first level of the Everlasting Magic passive, the extra 1 second will not do any additional damage. Both levels of the passive are required to gain an extra tick of damage.
