Arcane

• Bountiful Power — Deal increased strike damage for each boon on you.

Notes

• When used for mobility without a target as a leap, it is far better to weapon swap near the end of the animation. This cancels the end of the skill, specifically the awkward hit that moves the wielder slightly back. When done successfully, the message "you cannot drop bundles while in the air!" appears, the Lighting Hammer remains in the hands of the wilder, and the wielder maintains momentum, leaping slightly further.
