Aerochemantics, more formally known as Aerochemantic Engineering, is a skillchoice specialization after learning Elementalism and is an alternative to Aeromancy. Brought to Hallifax from a bleak future by Zedlon Windwhisper, this skill relies on the clever construction of engineered devices. Aerochemantic Engineers also use reagents transmuted from the cloudy essence of the Elemental Plane of Air to create dangerous and powerful reactions.

WindWalk

Syntax
AEROWORK WINDWALK

WINDWALK, DESCEND

As the sky is the home to all Air Mages, you can simply walk on the winds and be at home among the clouds. Also, you will be immune from blasts of wind that move you on the Elemental Plane of Air.

You will now always find it easier to walk in high winds.

AEROWORK AMPLIFY [ON|OFF]

By amplifying the strength of your generated fields, you can allow them to penetrate deep into your enemy's organic tissue and disrupt muscular impulses, making movement out of your presence more difficult.


Cloudkill

Syntax
AEROWORK CATALYST CLOUDKILL
Power: 5 (Matrix)

Damage Type: 50% Electric, 50% Asphyxiation

By creating a reaction between your cirrus field and your stratus field, the resulting product will cause damage to all enemies in your room as well as making them sensitive to damage in a delayed blast. Your enemy's movements will be greatly hindered while the effect is growing.

The sheer force of the implosion will stun your enemies, with those who suffer from the above afflictions being stunned longer.

Additional Notes:
Base damage increased to 300 + random 300 + 20% of maximum target health. Each affliction increases damage by 10% of maximum target health (Changelog #2840)
