Well of Power.

Notes

• Well of Power hits enemies inside each time it pulses. This deals no damage but triggers effects such as  Vampiric. Like all wells, these hits are unblockable.
• The stability and stun break are only applied to the caster on cast. This skill does not pulse stability.
• One stack of Might is applied to allies in range every pulse for a total of 6 stacks.
• Conditions are converted as follows, 1 condition per second per character affected.
  • Exception:  Fear on the caster will be removed by the stun break effect, instead of being converted, but fear applied after the stun break can still be converted.

Condition	Boon
Bleeding	Vigor (10 s)
Blinded	Fury (5 s)
Burning	Aegis (5 s)
Chilled	Alacrity (2 s)
Confusion	Resolution (5 s)
Crippled	Swiftness (10 s)
Fear	Stability (3 s)
Immobile	Resistance (2 s)
Poisoned	Regeneration (5 s)
Slow	Quickness (3 s)
Taunt	Stability (3 s)
Torment	Might (3 stacks, 10 s)
Vulnerability	Protection (3 s)
Weakness	Might (3 stacks, 10 s)

• Well of Power starts with a loud gasp sound from Necrotic Grasp, then plays the corrupted god statue audio that includes mumbled voices, and the sound bytes of human female NPC's taking a hit or dying to choking damage. Well of Darkness shares the same sounds.
