Mechanics

30% chance to Cast Socketed Spells: Each time you use a qualifying skill a single roll determines whether all the socketed spells will cast, unlike the standard trigger condition where only one socketed spell will activate per trigger.

However, it will not cast multiple of the same spell on activation. For example, if two Summon Raging SpiritSummon Raging SpiritSpell, Minion, Duration, Fire

Spend at least 100 Mana: Mana must be spent in order to qualify. Utilizing Blood Magic does not trigger the spells. Spending energy shield via Eldritch Battery does not trigger the spells. Aura reservation cost can activate socketed spells, as limited in usefulness as this is. Using Soul TakerSoul Taker

Use a Skill: For channeled skills with a Mana cost of above 100, Only the initial cast will trigger spells. This is because Kitava's Thirst triggers when spending mana to use a skill, not to maintain an already-used skill.

Targeting

The spells are targeted at nearby target. This does not necessarily mean those that the skill was originally targeted. If there are no nearby targets, the casts are targeted randomly.

Strategy

There are several methods that can be used to raise the cost of skills to help Kitava's Thirst trigger its socketed spells more regularly and expand the list of usable skills that can trigger this unique. Rapid cast or attacking abilities are preferred when using Kitava's Thirst to increase the likeliness of socketed spells triggering. Because of the high mana cost needed, several spells and most attack skills struggle to reach the 100 mana threshold, however there are a few unique items that can be used to assist with this:

The cast speed helps offsetting the cast speed penalty of Kitava's Thirst and the added chaos damage to spells makes it great for spellcaster utilizing chaos and poison damage.

Channeled skills are the fastest skills, but they activate the cast only once per use (if the mana cost is sufficient), so the player has to start channeling and end channeling rapidly, which is tedious but possible.
