Smoke Tendrils hits four times, each hit more powerful than the last. The damage the user takes is proportional to the damage they deal. The first hit does not hurt the user; the second hit hurts them by 1/5 the damage dealt, the third by 1/3, and the fourth by 1/2. As with all tendril abilities, it is possible to kill the player who use it if they have low life points. Smoke Tendrils, along with Blood Tendrils, Shadow Tendrils, and Ice Asylum, is learned by reading the Codex Ultimatus, which is obtained by talking to the Archaeological expert after The Dig Site quest.
