Resurgence

Developer Notes:

Previously Soul Expulsion, Reflecting Prism provides a lot of utility to Rayzon’s allies in the form of being able to reflect oncoming Damage for 1 turn.
This goes hand in hand with the new counterattack updates.

Previously Totem of Healing, Mana Well strives to provide a good form of Mana generation now that skills overall cost more Mana.
However, Rayzon gets no additional Mana from this effect, as it requires him to spend as much as he’s gaining.

Previously Phantasm, Ley Shield offers a self defense option to Rayzon.
This allows him to slightly tank magical damage if he is hit by it.

Resurgance is functionally identical to Reincarnate, just with an altered description and name/art.
We personally see nothing wrong with the skill.
