Flaming Skull is a scorching Voodoo Staff hex. When used, it is a line-of-fire attack with devastating results. The caster creates an imposing-looking skull of fire over the staff head. Once fully-charged and released, the Flaming Skull flies at enemies directly in front of the caster, damaging all it touches and burning them.
It does take noticeably longer to cast, so trying to use it while being attacked can prove risky. Increasing this ability increases the amount of damage caused by the skull and increases the duration of the burning, doing more damage every second the victim is burning. The burn deals damage as a small percentage of the enemy's current health.
- Unlocked at Voodoo Staff - Level 10
- Voodoo Power cost - 120
- Cast Time: 6 seconds
Attack damage depends on the pirate's voodoo staff skill, special abilities used and the type of staff.
*Note that Cast Time does not account for Spirit Lore. The listed Cast Time is when the Spirit Lore is rank 0.
