Effect The channeler stretches a hand out in front of herself, conjuring a deadly vortex of sharp blades and shards of metal. The razor-edged wave swirls forward, dealing damage in an area 3 yards wide until it reaches its target and spirals into a ring of floating metal about 3-4 yards high. The Blade Vortex remains in place where it lands for Rank rounds, reducing targets and objects within it to shreds with a Casting Roll vs. Physical Defense. The channeler's Casting roll gains +2 Ignore Dodge and +2 Armor Piercing.

Anything within the vortex's area of effect is immediately attacked, and any target that remains in the vortex until the caster’s next turn will be affected by it once again. However, no target may take damage from this spell more than once per round, and only one Blade Vortex may be active at a time.

At Rank 5, the bonuses to Ignore Dodge and Armor Piercing increase to +3.
