Trivia

• The skill icon appears to depict a moon (or a similar natural satellite) crashing into a planet.
• When using the skill, an image of a Death's-head hawkmoth appears on the ground.
• The wording of the description of this skill is a subtle reference to BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger. Several other Chronomancer abilities reference this series as well.
• Well of Calamity's most prominent sound effect is its ticking sound, which plays strongest on a pulse. The note on the final pulse whirls up to match the graphic of flying crystal.
