Voidgazer Rifter

A Voidgazer rifter rolls his hands in a wavy pattern.
With a gurgle, a pool of water quickly bubbles up from the ground and lifts into the air.  It begins to spiral, like a whirlpool turned on its side, forming a dark ripplegate.
An immense, pallid white tentacle heavy with marine growths snakes through the opening.  It sweeps across the area and flails around blindly.
The tentacle knocks Rileos away with the slightest of touches.
The kraken withdraws before the ripplegate collapses.

A Voidgazer rifter's singing builds to a fierce crescendo.
Energy explodes from , forming concentric rings of tangible sound that sweep through the area like the fading ripples in a pond.
