Conjure a swirling cloud of lethal blades that will roam the battlefield, slicing enemies to pieces before finally expiring in a shower of jagged shards.

Notes

Blade Spirit is the ultimate illusion employed by the Nightblades, conjuring a deadly cloud of phantasmal blades which moves around the battlefield as if alive. Any enemy unfortunate enough to be near the Blade Spirit will be shredded by thousands of small cuts. When the conjuring expires, the Blade Spirit bursts into a ring of deadly shrapnel, inflicting great pain upon any unfortunate survivors. Highly trained Nightblades can maintain multiples of these illusions at once, though the energy cost is great.
