The Void Gauntlet is coming. Cool.
Here are a couple more ideas to get the creative juices flowing.
[-----------------------------------------------------]
The Orb of Shattered Reality (Focus / Intelligence)
A special weapon created by questing for buried treasure. Requires 3 random drops from recovered chests.
An orb that floats around the character. Close-range / CC Arcane Weapon.
- Primary trees: Dominate / Vanquish
- Left tap: the orb crackles with energy, lightly striking everything immediately surrounding the character.
- Left hold: the orb releases a constant stream of energy 15’ in a pointed direction.
- Right hold: the orb flattens out into a circular shield that hovers in front of the character.
Dominate Tree
- Terror (cd: 10 sec): the target flees for 3 seconds or inflicts medium damage to fear-immune targets.
- Bewitch (cd: 15 sec): the target fights for the character for 5 seconds or until it is destroyed. Inflicts medium damage to charm-immune targets.
- Confound (cd: 5 sec): the target freezes in its tracks and questions everything about its life, interrupting whatever it was about to do.
Vanquish Tree
- Mutilate (cd: 5 sec): the orb spins around the character at high speed causing medium slashing damage to everything within striking distance.
- Pulverize (cd: 15 sec): the orb grows and encases a selected target up to 15’ away. It then begins to shrink, crushing the enemy within. Heavy crushing damage.
- Erupt (cd: 10 sec) the orb temporarily explodes, doing medium damage to everything within 10’ and knocking the character back 10’.

The Nefarious Companion (Strength / Intelligence)
A special weapon created by collecting all the stories in the game. Will occasionally steal a gold or two from you to cover his expenses.
A Ghoulish Fiend that follows your character around. Melee / Healer Arcane “weapon”.
- Primary trees: Opening the Void / Abhorrent Behavior
- Left Tap: you and your companion punch and kick at your target.
- Left Hold: you cower in fear as your companion becomes monstrous and savagely attacks everything around you. Channel ability.
- Right Hold: your companion lifts you over its head.
Opening the Void Tree
- Dark Vacuum (cd: 10 sec): your companion pushes you back 10’ as it opens a void that sucks in all the enemies within striking distance. They emerge 2 seconds later, much worse for wear. Medium crushing damage.
- Frazzled Teleport (cd: 15 sec): your companion opens a void beneath you, which you fall into. He then selects a random spot 30’ away where he reopens the void and you fall out. A random buff or de-buff is granted to you as a gift for experiencing the void realm.
- Dirty Tactics (cd: 5 sec): your companion enters the void and appears behind your target, delivering a vicious backstab. Medium stabbing damage.
Abhorrent Behavior Tree
- Working Together (cd: 10 sec): your companion grabs you by the ankles and starts whirling you around in a circle. Heavy damage to everything within striking distance. You take light damage as a result.
- Soul Swallow (cd: 10 sec): your companion grabs your target and holds it still while you start absorbing its life energy. Medium arcane damage, 5 second channel ability, you’re healed for 50% of the damage.
- Pure Thoughts (cd: 15 sec): you sit and meditate. Your companion dances all around you smiling and flinging potions in the air. The bottles drop in a large area all around you, randomly healing, buffing (and occasionally hurting) other characters in a 15’ radius.
[-----------------------------------------------------]
The Chest of Wonders (Focus)
A special weapon earned via collecting oddities scattered around the map in difficult to reach places.
An ornate chest that you ‘present’ to your enemies. Ranged / Summoning / CC / Melee Arcane “weapon”.
- Primary trees: Consume / Reinforce
- Left Tap: the chest ‘bites’ at everything in front of you.
- Left Hold: the chest opens and expels void constructs of gold and jewels up to 30’ away. Channel ability.
- Right Hold: the chest swallows and protects you.
Consume Tree
- Gleaming Greed (cd: 10 sec): the chest opens and emits a blinding flash of light. All enemies 180° in front of you wander aimlessly for 2 seconds.
- Feast (cd: 15 sec): the chest leaps out of your hands and aggressively begins biting everything 10’ in front of you. You are healed for 25% of damage dealt.
- Devour (cd: 10 sec): the chest swallows your target for 3 seconds before vomiting it back out. Acidic vomit attack to creatures too large to swallow. Heavy single target damage.
Reinforce Tree
- To Arms (cd: 15 sec): a void soldier construct leaps out of the chest, taunts your target, and engages it in battle for 5 seconds. Medium single target or AOE damage depending on the RNG soldier summoned.
- From the abyss (cd: 5 sec) the chest opens and void tentacles slash at everything in front of you inflicting light damage or de-buffs with each strike.
- Doppelganger (cd: 15 sec): your doppelganger leaps out of the chest in a puff of smoke which obscures you from view. Your enemies mistakenly think it’s you for 3 seconds, allowing you to reposition or escape.
