Ether Towers are ancient defensive towers built by the mursaat and placed throughout their fortresses such as Caliph's Steps, and around the Dead Lab in Janthir Syntri. They are known to entrap souls, though the reason is unknown, and emit powerful magic which attracts eidolons.

Combat abilities

Skills

• Ether Ward - Deals a small amount of damage every second to targets near it.

Notes

• Approaching an Ether Tower will prompt it to use either Spectral Agony or Weakened Spectral Agony in Ember Bay and Janthir Syntri respectively on the player. The tower will also create an area of effect around itself that will slow attacks made from within it, but does not cause Slow and cannot be removed.

Bug:

Using Counter Magic does not remove the conditions inflicted by the Ether Towers found in Janthir Syntri.

Trivia

The Guild Wars Wiki has an article on Mursaat Tower.

• The Ether Towers have runes that glow when an individual approaches them. These are mursaat runes first seen on the Eye of Janthir's pedestal.
