Deals damage and creates a dark path in front of your character. You have increased movement speed when you move along this path.

Path of Darkness deals damage and creates a dark path in front of your character. You have increased movement speed while you move along this path. A great advantage of this spell is that only you can see the path. Foes do not see it.

This spell is dedicated to increase your movement speed. It can be used in the beginning or in the middle of a battle to get close to the enemy very fast. The speed boost is rather good and it can save you time. Maybe it is not the best way to het closer, but anyway can be used depending on the situation.

How to use

Path of Darkness is also a very good spell for catching escaping enemy. If you see that someone is trying to escape you need to boost your speed in order to catch the target. On of the best spells for doing this is Path of Darkness. Just use the spell and you will have chance to catch the target. The enemy will not be able to escape.

A very good bonus is that the enemy does not see the path. You just cast the spell and run. The path is only visible to you. That means he can not react until he understands that you are using this skill. It allows you to increase your movement speed without attracting a lot of attention. In most situations the enemy will understand that you have increased speed after you reach him.

Path of Darkness can also help you if you want to escape. You can for example use a spell that gains invisibility and when the invisibility ends cast Path of Darkness and run away. The ability give a good speed increase and most of your enemies will not be able to catch you.

The general minus of this spell is that the path is straight. Once it is created it can not be changed and you will have to move along it in order to get speed boost. It will not be a problem if you are trying to catch an enemy who is running without changing direction. But you should think before using Path of Darkness if you see that the landscape or nearby objects will force the enemy to change direction. Maybe it is better to wait and use the ability when there will be no obstacles.
