Ash of War: Waves of Darkness

Waves of Darkness has you plunge your weapon into the ground, releasing three waves of darkness around you. A strong attack right after adds a wide sweeping swing.

It grants the Magic affinity and works on greataxes, great hammers, great spears and colossal weapons. Magic scales with Intelligence, so it suits a heavy weapon user with points in sorcery stats.
