Summons a totem that casts a beam of fire at you and each other totem you control, dealing burning damage to enemies caught in the beam. Enemies near either end of a beam also suffer burning damage. Reaching maximum active totem count will cause all totems from this skill to detonatte, applying the same burning damage for a duration.

Level 20 Searing Bond of Detonation Gem
Skill Overview
Unlike the base version that creates a persistent burning beam between totems, this transfigured version focuses on a detonation mechanic.
Mechanism: It summons a totem that casts a beam of fire at you, which then triggers a detonation effect.
Synergy: Players are experimenting with Hierophant builds to take advantage of the high totem count (often 7+ totems) to maximize the overlapping coverage and damage of the detonations.
Speed Buffs: A general 3.28 change makes all totems approximately 2x faster to emerge and activate, significantly reducing the "clunkiness" of summoning multiple totems for this skill.
Build Guide
Damage Scaling: Similar to the base version, it scales with Fire Damage, Burning Damage, Elemental Damage, and Damage over Time.
Positioning: Because the beam is cast toward the player, your movement directly influences where the beams and subsequent detonations occur.
Totem Limit: Searing Bond gems traditionally allow for one additional totem, helping you reach higher totem counts even without the Ancestral Bond keystone.
