Mechanics

• The stability and stun break are only applied to the caster on skill activation, regardless of well location.
  • The rest of the effects begin applying immediately after the cast time has finished, which is when the first pulse starts.
• The  Aegis is reapplied every pulse.
• Will go on full cooldown if it is interrupted before completion.

Notes

• Well of Precognition's signature sound effect has a high chime ring, getting longer with each pulse. The ending pulse plays an energy blast.
