-'''Spatial maelstroms''' are a more advanced form of [[spatial vortex]], no longer [[confused]] and capable of creating spatial vortices by consuming [[wall]]s and converting their matter into chaos (this randomly affects adjacent walls, and always affects walls they move into). Their better-than-[[spriggan]] speed, wall destruction, and rapid [[distortion]] hits make them high-profile threats within the branch, and almost impossible to escape on foot. They only appear in [[the Abyss]] and Abyss-themed [[Ziggurat]] floors - any other [[branch]] else, even when generated via [[Lugonu#Given_Abilities|Corruption]], will expel maelstroms back to the Abyss.

-*Spatial vortices are surprisingly rare in the Abyss outside of one exit vault and one rune vault. As such, seeing multiple spatial vortices wandering around might indicate the presence of a maelstrom and is therefore your cue to consider going a different direction.

-*Their distortion attacks can chew through your HP rapidly, send you into the more dangerous levels of the Abyss, or suddenly teleport you into unknown and potentially occupied terrain at low health. This, paired with their breeding habits and their speed, makes them top-priority threats; feel free to use consumables or heavy magic.

-*If possible, try to lure them into wide open areas to reduce the number of spatial vortices they can produce. More often than not, however, you won't find them until they've already wrecked a section of the Abyss.

In small numbers they aren't too deadly, but a swarm of them will tear you apart at the molecular level. They can be found in [[the Abyss]].

 ==Tips & Tricks==
-*Their distortion attacks can chew through your HP rapidly, their breeding habits result in the situation getting worse over time, and it's nearly impossible to outrun them. Once one spots you, don't be afraid to go a little overboard in eradicating it quickly.
+*The spatial vortexes produced from these maelstroms wandering the Abyss are some of the only that appear in Abyss, outside of one exit vault and one rune vault: as such, seeing multiple spatial vortexes is a warning in and of itself of the eye of the storm being in that vague direction
-*If you do get swarmed, there's a chance you'll find yourself banished to a deeper level of the Abyss. This is by no means a safe method of delving deeper, especially once you hit the deepest, most deadly floors.
+*Their distortion attacks can chew through your HP rapidly, send you dangerously further into the Abyss, or simply suddenly teleport you into unknown and potentially occupied terrain at low health. This, paired with their breeding habits and the aforementioned inability to avoid them, makes them top-priority threats; feel free to use consumables or heavy magic.
-*If possible, try to lure them into wide open areas so that they won't breed to an uncontrollable degree. More often than not, however, you don't find them until they've already had some time to multiply.
