Channelling skill

In 2.4.0 a channelled skill system was added.

Incinerate, Flameblast and Wither are now channelled skills.

• Unlike other skills, which are used once and quickly finish, when you use a channelled skill, it doesn't finish until you release the relevant button/key. You continue performing the same skill.

• You need to pay mana repeatedly to keep the skill going. The channelled skill's mana cost must be paid again to maintain it with a frequency determined by the cast time. If you can't pay, the skill will end, just as if you'd lifted the button.

• Dying, being stunned, and other game mechanics that interrupt the use of skills will cause channelling to end as well.

• Effects which trigger when you use a skill will only trigger when you initially start channelling - regardless of how long you maintain a channelled skill, it's still the same use of the skill. You need to stop channelling if you want to use it again.
