What it does

Leap to the aim, 3 to 7 tiles, over 0.9 s and 24 px high (nothing on the ground reaches you; arrows and spells still do). Land, and three rings run out from the landing at 7 tiles/s to radius 6; each foe is struck once, by the band it stands in when the ring reaches it: 5.0x within 2 tiles, 3.0x within 4, 1.8x within 6 (heavy; knock 340 / 260 / 180 outward). Every S and M foe within 4 tiles is staggered at once whatever its meter; L foes and bosses take 100 stagger. Then the ground within 4 tiles is Broken for 8 s: foes on it move x0.6 and can't begin a charge or a leap; you and your allies cross it freely. Walls stop the leap short and you land there. Foe-only.
