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.
• This skill lands at the location of the player's cursor at the end of the cast, and can be re-targeted until that point if a player has their ground-targeting behavior set to "Instant Cast" in gamer settings. This can help account for situations where opposing players may use skills to reposition downstate players, or if downed players move themselves using their available skills.

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.
