Unique Effects of Flames of Midnight

1. Evade is replaced by Spirit Step: This unique modifier changes the standard Evade mechanic into Spirit Step, a movement skill that enhances mobility and survivability.

2. You have Swiftness: This grants increased movement speed, further boosting the character’s agility.

3. Wandering Spirit Creation: When you directly use a Fire, Necrotic, or Void skill, you create a Wandering Spirit near the target location. This effect has a separate 4-second cooldown for each skill type, allowing frequent triggering during combat.

4. Ward Generation: Each active Wandering Spirit grants +4 to +7 Ward per second, increasing defensive sustainability.

5. Damage Conversion: 100% of Wandering Spirits’ base damage is converted to Fire damage, enhancing elemental damage output.

6. Penetration: The ring provides +10% to +17% Fire, Necrotic, and Void penetration, allowing your attacks to bypass enemy resistances more effectively.

7. Ward Decay Threshold: The ring increases your Ward decay threshold by +42 to +110, helping maintain your Ward longer during combat.

These effects combine to make Flames of Midnight a versatile ring that boosts damage, survivability, and mobility, especially for builds centered around Fire, Necrotic, or Void skills.

How to Obtain Flames of Midnight
