Not really of noteworthy discussion in the Arcane Repository, and only encountered on the final boss to the best of my knowledge, so I put it here, as it might also entail spoilers.



Now, during the battle which I've gone through twice so far, I have yet to figure out what the skill does. (Usually stuck focusing on the HP bars of my teammates ) I'd like to know, if anybody can tell me.

Also, I notice the skill description labels it as a 'spell', so is it subject to damage from backfire, interruption by spell interrupts, and disabling + taking for one's own through use of the mesmer skill, Arcane Theivery?

Unlike Spectral Agony, which is labeled as a skill, this one clearly says spell, which ought to be subject to theft then:

Quote:
Arcane Thievery
Description: For 5-29 seconds, one random spell is disabled for target foe, and Arcane Thievery is replaced by that spell.
Energy Cost:10
Casting Time: 1 seconds
Recharge Time: 10 seconds
Skill Type: Spell
Linked Attribute: Domination Mainly just idle curiousity, but anyone know the answers to the above?

Short summary:
-What does soul vortex actually do?
-Can it be taken and used through the skill Arcane Theivery?

I think soul vortex might be the special ability that teleports people into the middle of the lava, although I haven't paid attention to the timing between seeing that show up and people wading.
