'''Blink''' is a [[buff]] [[skill]] granted by {{il|Sands of Silk}}. While off [[cooldown]], your [[dodge roll]] gets replaced with a short-range teleport.
It is a [[granted skill]] from {{il|Sands of Silk}}.
This version of Blink functions near identically to the {{il|page=Blink}} [[gem]], except it doesn't have the [[Persistent]] gem tag and can store three [[cooldown]] uses.
==Skill functions and interactions==
==Skill functions and interactions==
Using Blink's teleport does not count as a [[dodge roll]] and will not activate effects that [[trigger]] from dodge rolling, such as {{il|Cast on Dodge}}. It also disables [[sprint]]ing.
''See [[Blink#Skill functions and interactions]]''.
Blink must be usable with both [[weapon set]]s in order to be activated.
Unlike the regular version of the skill ({{il|page=Blink}}), this version does not have the [[Persistent]] gem tag, does not have a [[spirit]] [[reservation]] (like most item-granted skills), and although it appears to be unable to be toggled on from the Skills Menu, it actually is permanently on and cannot be toggled off while {{il|Sands of Silk}} is equipped.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZbmwHFdB_A</ref>
If dodge roll is disabled via [[Unwavering Stance]], then blink's teleport gets disabled as well.
