have faster cast times and lower cooldowns however this doesn't apply to ultimates and dodge skills fire spells do increase weak point damage to break the armor of bosses while lightning spells have more effective staggers blink on the other hand is a mobility skill which can be used offensively or defensively in that you're teleported to a chosen location within 15 meters from where you originally were while moving you'll be able to pierce bosses and gain push and debuff immunity note that when any of these states are active you won't be gaining arcane energy however the moment you

point detection damage amplification enhances the damage you and your allies deal while flame expansion enlarges the fire area to affect nearby enemies and to significantly boost the spell's damage
