11.Crystallized Lotus Extract – This ability grants 3 Soul Fragments. I would go for it, just in case (90secs cd)

17.Grave’s Blossom – A Combo which deals poison damage (30 secs cd). Not sure if its worth the 5 points tho, as it consumes all the soul fragments in order to deal a decent damage. Too bad it is linked to baneful venom
