Storm, Earth, and Fire is a Windwalker monk ability, summoning two additional copies of yourself to attack hostile targets. It is based on the pandaren brewmaster's ability of the same name from Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, and is comparable with the Mage ability [Mirror Image].

It is an exclusive choice node with [Serenity].
