Spellstorm refers to a type of magic wielded by Druids. Similar to Frostfire, it means that a spell can do either Arcane or Nature spell damage. Spellstorm is special as it combines the strengths of these two elements - if an enemy is invulnerable to Arcane, it will deal Nature damage and vice versa. It also works around resistances and absorption effects in the same manner, thus evading mages' 
[Mage Ward] and warlocks' 
[Nether Protection], though not warlocks' 
[Nether Ward]. The only spell that uses it so far is 
[Starsurge], and the power of the spellstorm damage here is that it can take advantage of both the 
[Eclipse] effects that Balance Druids use.
History
