Deed

A task from the teacher. Only a deep well stays still at a storm's heart: thirty Koch Stars, or the storm will drink you dry.

What it does

A hurricane 5 tiles in radius settles at the aim for 12 s and drifts toward your cursor at up to 3 tiles/s. You steer it while you keep casting; it breaks up if it strays more than 14 tiles from you. Its winds drag foes inside toward the eye: small 2 tiles/s, medium 1.2, large 0.5. Dragons, companions and townsfolk are never dragged, and walls, trees and rocks stop the drag. Foes in the calm 1.5-tile eye feel no drag, so they gather there. Every 0.4 s lightning strikes a random foe inside: 1.9x lightning and a shock (+30%, 3 s). A foe takes at most one strike per 1.2 s (10 at most). Needs 16 mana Stars to cast.
