Revision as of 16:52, 10 July 2014

Template:Gem Infobox

Ethereal Knives (also commonly referred to as "EK") throws ten knives in front of the caster that deal physical damage. Multiple knives cannot hit the same target. The angle of the spell's arc is fixed and does not depend on where the cursor is, unlike Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Lesser Multiple Projectiles".

Despite the fact that it does physical damage, Ethereal Knives is a spell and not an attack. It does not utilize weapon damage in any way, even if you use daggers.

Skill Functions and Interactions

Like all other spells, only the Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Life Leech" and Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Mana Leech" support gems will grant leech effects to Ethereal Knives. All other forms of leeching work only on physical damage from attacks.

Physical Spell Damage: Because Ethereal Knives deals physical damage, it can be boosted by supports and skills that are more commonly used to modify attacks, such as the Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Added Fire Damage" support gem and the Hatred skill iconHatred aura. Note again that Ethereal Knives is a spell though, auras specifically restricted to attacks like Anger skill iconAnger or Wrath skill iconWrath do not affect it.

Projectile Speed: Projectile Speed will increase the average distance that Ethereal Knives projectiles travel before they fade, effectively increasing the maximum range of the spell.
