Concept Skill: "Art of Destruction"

I know that ANET probably won't make any more skills. But hey, this keeps my brain rolling.
Art of Destruction
15 energy
2 second casting time
20 second recharge time

Hex Spell. Target foe is struck for 15...60 damage. After 3 seconds foes adjacent to the target are struck for 20...55 damage. (Domination Magic).

On the after three second part, the hexed foe will not be damaged.
The animation could be a pretty pink flower that goes around the character, then it blossoms! OOOH! PRETTY!

bleh gimmicky and rather bleh not really a skill that would see any use.

It's just an uber weak version of FOC

I'd sign it, if the effect also spawned unicorns that glow rainbowy colors.

Lmao.. come to think of it I would too...
Kinda made me think that t would be cool if mesmer skills actually interfered with the UI- with post processing effects etc, where the screen turns upside down/ your mouse starts moving around at random/inverts/ screen flashes red/blurrs/sharpens/zooms in out/ your skill bar keys are inverted/ glowing unicorns with rainbowy colours

edit: /illision line with actual illusions: fake pets/ savanah heats/ spirits/ minions/ monks

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it isn't very much like a Domination magic hex. Seems far more like an elemental spell to do outright damage like that. It would at least have to do something with energy first.

Perhaps that would be an idea for a spell. An inverse Energy Burn. You could do more damage if they gain energy.

Ether Friction - (10 energy, 1 cast, 30 recharge) Hex. For 10 seconds, every second target foe moves, foe takes 5...40 damage and gains 5 energy.

and I thought people complained about the mesmer not having enough AoE attacks.
