Doesn't do any damage.

Really, really long cooldown. Way too long for what it (doesn't do?) does.

Random travel (unreliable).

Takes so long to earn it.

For this long a cooldown and for that much AP and Aerotheurge skill to use it, it needs to either do damage or have half that much cooldown or both. What a waste of a cool graphic on such a poorly performing spell.

This is a TORNADO we are talking about here...and it does NO damage?!

The cooldown is pretty excessive by at least 3 turns, but it completely removes ALL surfaces and clouds, including lava and deathfog, which would otherwise not be removable.

I find Tornado to be really useful. I don't use it every fight, but there's no better way to clear a path (it's movement is not entirely impredictable, it's quite broad actually), also removes several status effects including invisibility... The only annoying thing about it is that you can't aim it through clouds. I mean, WHAT?? That's what I would change about it. If you're in a cloud, you'll end up summoning a mini tornado that lasts half a second and clears the cloud above your head. AWFUL. That and reduce its cooldown for at least 3 turns smile

But it doesn't need to do damage, Aero is mostly a manipulation school (like Hydro). The most efficent school in manipulating surfaces, clouds and positioning imo... If tornado did damage, it wouldn't be nearly as useful, in fact it would be too niche and you would have to worry about damaging and stunning allies...
