Penance Brand of Conduction is a spell that creates a brand at the target location, which when attached to an enemy adds Energy to the branded enemy and nearby enemies that don't have Energy. When the brand is detached by any means, enemies with Energy are dealt damage.

Unlike the original skill, this transfigured version has a short, limited Attached duration. It does not apply stacks of energy nor does it explode. It instead adds Energy to nearby enemies upon activation and deals damage when the brand is Detached. Compared to the original, it has lower damage and damage effectiveness, but more damage with Hits to the branded enemy and no penalty to damage with Ailments.
Skill functions and interactions

Branded enemies visually become more "charged" the longer it is attached, however, this has no effect on damage dealt as it does not increase with energy added after the first.
Multiple brands: Each brand adds its own Energy to enemies, and enemies can have multiple sources of Energy on it. When a brand is detached, only the Energy added by it deals damage; other brands' Energy is not consumed.
Since only the first activation of Energy is necessary to deal full damage, this skill synergizes with ways to quickly expire/detach brands such as Swiftbrand SupportSwiftbrand SupportBrand, Support Icon: t Level: (1-20) Cost & Reservation Multiplier: 130%Requires Level 31Supports skills which create brands.Supported Skills have 65% less Attached Duration Supported Skills have 65% less Detached Duration Supported Skills have (30-44)% more Activation frequency

Further reducing the attached duration is also effective, as waiting for the brands to expire is the primary limitation to dealing damage, particularly to a single target.
