[edit] Usage

As you spawn cast Avatar of Balthazar and take the quest Clear the Chamber. Cast Extend Enchantments, Sympathetic Visage, Mystic Regeneration and Mystic Vigor, in this order, and lure one group of Grasping Darknesses carefully (Watch out for Dying Nightmares). When the enchantments end, do the same sequence. You´ll gain enough energy with the enchantments loss. Always keep +40 armor by alternating between Balthazars or Physical Resistance (you can use the two spells, you just have to keep +40armour up)

Once you have completed the quest, cast Physical Resistance and Avatar of Balthazar and run along the right side of the room and through the open gate, until you reach the Smite Crawlers.

Now kill the Smites the same way you did the Grasping Darknesses. You have to give them a couple seconds of hitting you before attacking so they can't put up Shield of Judgment, their energy needs to be drained so you wait a couple of seconds before you start attacking them .
