    Apparently, in an additional Q&A segment of the 14 Hour Stream Yoshi-P was asked about some sort of quicker start ability for RDM since we don't really have solid access to an opener like everyone else does. And YoshiP agreed and said he'd be taking it to the dev in charge of the job.

    I don't know why, but I hadn't really thought too much about that before. Probably because I don't do a lot of the hardcore single target content in the game I guess. Anyway, it wasn't something on my original list of additions/improvements but that would definitely be a nice upgrade.

    Just to add more information, in the benchmark the RDM casts another spell after this new lightning based spell. It looks like Verfire. Interesting enough, this new lightning spell doesn't seem to trigger Dual Cast, rather it might just grant Verfire ready at a 100% rate.

    If what the previous post said is true, it might indeed be a spell unique to RDM openers, allowing for immediate cast of Verfire after you precast this new lightning spell.

    The visual effect stays on for quite a while, this would make me think of a DoT or a really big thing like Impact

    It seems to last about as long as Scorch, so that doesn't mean anything. It could just be like a Fire IV.

    I mean, the most likely thing is that there's a trait that upgrades Veraero and Verthunder to Veraero III and Verthunder III, and nothing more complicated than that, with things like casting time and such being scuffed because it's a demo, cause that's not a normal cast time even for a short cast.

    Maybe, though the casting sfx on the sword doesn't look like the one for black magic. It looks cleaner, more radiant.
