How does an Elementalist's "Swirling Winds" function? - Inspirational Message on Blue Concrete Pavement

The Elementalist has a skill Swirling Winds as Scepter's #4 skill in Air Attunement. Visually, it creates a 400 unit radius graphic of swirling winds around the character. Per the skill's description:

Swirling Winds

Create a swirling wind that destroys projectiles.

How exactly does the projectile destruction work?

  • Is it only enemy projectiles?
  • Do the projectiles need to start outside of the winds to be destroyed or does it destroy projectiles that start inside the winds, too?
  • Would it destroy projectiles shot from the inside of the winds to the outside of them?
  • Is there a distance limit (eg. would it destroy point-blank projectiles)?
