For a brief moment, this spell redirects space around the target, making 'down' become exactly where the target is standing. All nearby creatures, save the caster, fall helplessly toward the victim - typically colliding with it, or with each other!

Gell's Gravitas is a level 3 Hexes/Translocations spell that pulls nearby creatures toward the target, causing damage if they collide and preparing cloud spell attacks.

Strategy

Gell's Gravitas may not do very much damage on its own, but its ability to clump multiple enemies into one location makes it a perfect setup for other attack options. Area-of-effect spells such as Fireball, Inner Flame, and Freezing Cloud are effective follow-ups.

History

In 0.17 Gell's Gravitas became part of the Book of Hinderance and the Book of Debilitation, set to level 3 and smite-targeted, but no longer confusing enemies. As for 0.17.1 patch, the spell no longer will move any monsters into deep water or lava.

Gell's Gravitas was added in 0.16.
