Even approaching a stormwarden can be dangerous since the rangers are taught how to swing their weapons , usually blade s , around them to impose a physical barrier .

All stormwardens , even if they are not themselves fey , emulate the teleportation abilities of the eladrin and attacks made by experienced stormwardens often carry with them an electrical charge . These uncanny abilities make stormwardens altogether more deadly . However , stormwardens remain warrior s by nature , and are trained in the use of exploit s rather than spell s .

" Cold steel hurricane " however is a more advance exploit that more fully embodies the stormwarden ethos , dealing deadly blows with deadly agility and power .
