Vortex

==/// SUMMARY==
The Vortex is a spellbook that can trap enemies in one spot, dealing continuous damage over time. It is purchasable for 7,500$ and is unlocked at Wave 16. 
==/// MECHANICS ==
Vortex is used by pressing [LMB]. On use, a vortex will spawn at the cursor's location. At base, it lasts for 20 seconds and has a radius of 60 studs. Enemies that approach it will be pulled into and trapped at the vortex's center.
While enemies remain inside, the Damage and Critical Chance of the vortex will rise, up to a limit. Critical Chance will cap at 33%. Damage caps at x2 of Vortex's base damage, multiplied by the user's Effect Damage stat. After enough time, the vortex will also begin to bypass shields. However, during daytime, the Damage cap will be reduced by 33% and Vortex will not be able to bypass shields.
Additionally, enemies with the Boss, MiniBoss, or Heavy classifications along with other specific enemies cannot be pulled in by Vortex. This means that they are immune to it entirely and cannot be damaged by it.
Vortex scales to a few Mage-related stat changes, having its properties depend on them.

==/// STRATEGY==
#Due to its AoE nature, it's generally best to target groups of enemies. As such, placing a vortex near a sector is usually a good idea since enemies will get caught within it as they spawn and move towards the statue.
#Vortex can be used to temporarily pin enemies in one spot, which may help to give your team some breathing room if the statue is being attacked by several enemies.
#Pairing Vortex with Grapple Lash will allow the user to pick out and easily deal with most high-priority enemies from practically any range, including Spirit Noobs, as long as they keep track of when the spawned vortex is close to expiring.
