A fizzle is the opposite of an [[execute]] or successful execution. The reasons for a skill fizzling are varied:<br /> <br /> * '''[[Interrupt]]s''' are a common cause of fizzles. Generally caused by another player or enemy [[Non-player character|NPC]] using an [[Interrupt#Interrupt-Causing Skills|interrupt skill]]. Interrupts generally discharge the skill, forcing the user to wait for [[recharge]] or longer to use it again.<br /> * '''[[Cancel]]lation''' is another common cause of fizzles. Attempting to move during a long [[activation time]] or pressing the escape key will cancel the skill causing it to fizzle. Cancels do not discharge the skill.<br /> * The '''[[target]] becoming invalid''' during casting will also fizzle a skill, also known as [[fail]], though the fizzle will not occur until the casting time is complete. This is frequently caused by the target dying during activation, but can also occur in the opposite: the target was already resurrected before a [[resurrection]] skill is complete. This does not discharge the skill.<br /> ** Invalid target fizzle can also be caused by the target completing an &quot;untargetability&quot; skill like [[Shadow Form]] or [[Vow of Silence]] while your skill is activating.<br /> * If '''the skill becomes [[disable]]d''' while it is being activated via [[Blackout]] or a similar skill, also known as [[fail]], will fizzle.<br /> <br /> == Notes ==<br /> * Fizzles are signaled in the game by a clicking or chirping sound, audible to all in the vicinity of the skill user, as well as a white &quot;falling sparks&quot; visual effect placed above the head to override any activation symbol that may have been there.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Game mechanics]]<br /> [[Category:Unofficial terms]]</div>
