Difficulty:	Unknown
Type / Skill:	meditation / utility
Path:	Predator
Description:	Against a lone foe, Axis Meditation will drive the Barbarian's whirlwind attack into an unrelenting storm, lashing out again and again until its momentum is broken.
Effect:	Enhances Whirlwind when attacking a single target.
Messaging:	Start: You witness a tight spiral of flame unfurling and circling, slow at first. Edges blur, and motion feeds motion, until the fire seems to cut the space around it. A whirlwind of purest fire roars up in the heart of the vision, striking out relentlessly at an unseen foe. You bask in the sensation of uncontrollable momentum. The flames of the Axis subside, but its rhythm stays behind. You feel it centered deep within your core -- silent now, but ready to burst into motion again. Stop: The rhythm of the Axis in your core dissolves.

Detailed effects:

Same Whirlwind empowerment as Earthquake Berserk -- increased damage, improved balance, and reduced roundtime. If you have both active, the Axis empowerment will take priority, and the Earthquake empowerment will not be consumed.
Chained Whirlwinds that will continue until you miss, become incapacitated, or don't have a single target. Whirlwind will then go on cooldown for 10 seconds multiplied by the number of empowered Whirlwinds you executed.
Accuracy bonus to Whirlwind, scaling strongly with Agility. Accuracy will decay with each chained Whirlwind, Potency determining the decay rate.
