Consuming Darkness casts an aura of protection over the area and slows down enemy movement in the area. Allies with low Health can activate the ​ Hidden Refresh synergy, which grants them Invisibility, increases their movement speed, and restores their Health for 4 seconds. The Bolstering Darkness morph reduces your damage taken of you and your allies for a short duration after leaving the effect, while Veil of Blades adds damage over time to enemies in the area.
