Mechanics

• As the description states, it will grant 1 second of spinning blades per blade consumed. Meaning for a maximum of 5 seconds of spinning blades. Hitting once per second.
  • Additionally, this means it will activate shatter-related traits, such as  Maim the Disillusioned, per hit.

Related traits

Domination

• Rending Shatter — Shatter skills inflict vulnerability on hit.
• Shattered Concentration — Shatter skills also remove a boon on hit.
• Mental Anguish — Shatter skills deal more damage. This bonus damage is doubled against foes that are not activating skills.

Chaos

• Bountiful Disillusionment — Gain stability when you use a Shatter skill. Grant an additional boon to nearby allies based on which Shatter is used.

Inspiration

• Restorative Illusions — Heal and cleanse conditions from yourself and nearby allies when you use a Shatter skill.

Illusions

• Maim the Disillusioned — Shatter skills inflict torment on hit.
• Master of Misdirection — Shatter skills gain recharge reduction.
• Master of Fragmentation — Your Shatter skills are improved.

Virtuoso

• Bladeturn Refrain — Bladesongs grant aegis.
• Jagged Mind — Blade attacks inflict bleeding on critical hits. A percentage of your condition damage dealt heals you.
• Deadly Blades — Blades inflict vulnerability on critical hits. After successfully casting a Bladesong, increase all damage dealt for a short time. This does not stack.
• Psychic Riposte — Blocking or evading an attack stocks blades. Dodging stocks a blade and causes your next Bladesong to be unblockable.
• Infinite Forge — Automatically stock blades while in combat. When you use bladesong above the blade threshold, refund blades. Blade attacks deal more damage.
