Nek'zali the Soulcoiler
Official Overview (Blizzard)
As Nek'zali energizes the Soulcoil Well by invoking the Soulcoil Rite, she provokes the Restless Amani to the well. Upon reaching 50% health, Nek'zali retreats to begin the Ritual of Awakening. Destroying Echoes of Jawae removes their Tethers of Awakening and draws her back.
