  • Produces a stun whose length scales up with the amount the caster won the contest by. It will also cause a target to stop advancing.
  • Per Armifer, "The redesigned offensive function of Dazzle is meant to fill a few niches in the Moon Mage spellbook. First, Dazzle will still be an easier, more mana efficient and user-friendly spell than Mental Blast. Dazzle cannot be turned back on its caster and Moon Mages will still be able to cap Dazzle significantly faster than Mental Blast. The effect of Dazzle is substantially weaker than Mental Blast, but for a long stretch of the Moon Mage's career it will be a more reliable disabler.
