# Surge

Surge is a Magic spell that grants players the ability to quickly dodge incoming attacks from monsters and vault traps. Upon casting, players receive three Surge dodges, which are displayed on the top-right of the health bar with a two-minute countdown. Activating a Surge charge causes the player to travel eight metres away from the direction they are currently facing. This distance can be obstructed and shortened by walls or other environmental barriers. After reaching 25 Magic, the perk Afterimage is unlocked, where players can leave behind an illusory image for 10 seconds after using the first Surge charge. This will allow the player to temporarily avoid strikes as the enemy will target the illusory image instead. After 10 seconds, the enemy will lock on to the player.
