Related traits

Air

• Inscription — Gain boons upon casting a glyph based on your attunement.

Notes

• Like all revival skills, this only affects downed players and can also revive dead NPCs.
• The attunement effect is determined at the beginning of activation, attunement swapping does not change the attunement effect.
• When used underwater, the glyph is a point-blank area of effect skill, instead of ground-targeted.
• The skill heals downed players for a certain amount, thus if their health is extremely low it will not revive them.

Anomaly:

When selecting a skill to equip, this skill does not have a ground-target indicator despite all 4 terrestrial versions being ground-targeted and other ground-targeted skills having an indicator in the list.
