Celestial Flames: gives you a 30% chance upon using any Brew-named ability to receive a buff for 6 seconds. While you have this buff, using Spinning Crane Kick causes it to also apply the Breath of Fire DoT effect to enemies hit and makes this debuff reduce the enemy's damage dealt to you by 10% rather than the usual 5%.
Blackout Combo: causes your Blackout Kick to empower your next ability (used within 15 seconds).
