(Just look at some of the Warlock powers!)But I agree with Exploder. I believe the intention is that as long as the victim can't break free of the lure, he's hauled in further.Of course, to make any real sense, the rule needs a rewrite.Here are two possibilities:1) Split it up into one initial Will attack (as a standard action) that makes the victim dazed, and a follow-up attack (as a minor action) that only targets a Dazed creature*, but auto-succeeds to pulls him 3 squares automatically. In other words: no "sustain" language at all. Not only does this clear up what's intended, it also allows the Will'o'Wisp to synergize with other monsters that daze.*) Or perhaps all dazed creatures within range, as per Exploder's suggestion?2) Change the dazed from save ends to "until the end of the Will'o'Wisp's next turn". Thus, by "sustaining" you repeat the attack, and keep the target dazed one more round (if successful).Sustain powers that make it clear what they're sustaining is about to end; unless you spend the required sustain action to, well, sustain, that condition; are much easier to understand and use.</blockquote>
