Notes

• The damage modifier stacks additively with other additive damage modifiers.
• Does activate on movement skills that don't move you (eg. when using Heartseeker when already close enough to an enemy to not move).
• Does not activate if a shadowstep does not move you (eg. when using Steal without a target).
• Does not activate on dodge; not even Daredevil dodges.
