• Way of the Winter Breeze: Weaving his sword in a bewildering, swirling arc, Eltharion is able to guide his blade through even the most steadfast defence.

• Way of the Swooping Eagle: Eltharion summons all of his speed and might into a few deadly blows.
  Eltharion gains +2 Strength.

• Way of the Breaking Storm: Unleashing his speed and strength in a flurry of blistering attacks, Eltharion rains down blow after blow on the enemy.
