|desc=Taming the magic of the Desert's Maelstrom enchante will allow you to weave a shield of sound around you and members of your group. Though the effects of this enchante are predominately carried by the force of sound, the sand and dust kicked up only add to its effects. Because of this, those outside its area of effect will find it difficult to employ ranged attacks, whether magical or otherwise, due to the hampered visibility. Those inside the protective embrace of the Desert's Maelstrom will find the music aids their evasive movements and balance. |
