Trivia

• The Vortex skill's help text is slightly misleading. It incorrectly implies the Vortex tome to be a variant of Wind as opposed to the variant of Elwind it actually is.
• While Vortex can be learned as a mastery skill by using an Occult scroll, doing so is effectively useless as the only playable raven (Naesala) already has the skill when recruited.
• Radiant Dawn has unused elements which suggest that Vortex was planned to re-appear in it. In the finished game, it is effectively replaced by the similar Maelstrom skill, which has a similar Japanese name to Vortex and which Naesala also already possesses when recruited.
