Related actions

•   Aetherflow
•   Aetherpact

Notes

• As this shares the same Aetherflow resource as healing actions such as   Lustrate,   Indomitability, and   Excogitation, this ability should be used to consume excess Aetherflow stacks if healing is not required.
• This action has the opposite effect as the analogous   Energy Drain for Arcanist and Summoner, which grants Aetherflow stacks instead of consuming them.
