Molten Strike of the Zenith is a strike (attack) skill that strikes an enemy with a two-handed weapon, with some of the physical damage converted to fire damage. Each strike creates multiple molten ball projectiles that land to deal damage in a small area. Every fifth strike creates additional, stronger projectiles.

Changes from default version

Unlike the original skill, this transfigured version has less damage effectiveness, slower attack time, more cost, no added fire damage, and a higher damage penalty to projectiles. However, it now adds additional projectiles and significantly more damage to every 5th attack, and requires a two-handed melee weapon.
