Temblor

A temblor is the generic name given to any device, usually hand-thrown, that deals no direct damage to an opponent, but instead causes a localized tremor dealing both a small amount of AoE damage from the quake and altering the terrain. The target block will react to the seismic activity by shifting the land upward, creating an earthen shield in which a player can elude the line-of-sight of a ranged attacker.

Hyla Artificers can also utilize their leaping ability to increase their elevation. Increased elevation increases accuracy against elevated targets and increase critical strike chance on targets down-hill.
