Volcanic Cleaver

Volcanic Cleaver — a heavy melee cleaver that creates a visible circular zone of burning ground when you hit an enemy; the fire ring lasts about 5 seconds and deals damage over time to anyone standing inside, making it an effective area-denial weapon. Use it by swinging (left-click) to strike foes and spawn the ring; the cleaver is non-stackable (occupies a single slot) and requires a cooldown between activations. The updated cleaver adopts a deliberate block-style stance with a shorter wind-up and heavier movement penalty while using, and successful special hits trigger a dramatic layered animation and sound sequence (lava particles at the attacker, a flame marker at the target, a sweeping wind-up sound, then a delayed flame burst and explosion) just before the ring ignites.
