Specialization background.

"Where some see chaos, I see opportunity."

Focusing heavily on disorienting their enemies at the height of battle, a mesmer's chaos magic enhances the application of boons—often at random—and other improvements to personal defense. It also provides bonuses to condition and boon duration.
