Frustration #3 (Last One I Promise - For Now)

My most truly powerful spell is Elemental Tempest. It really kicks butt with only taking one shot to kill bosses up and including Magnus. My frustration is that it seems to recharge randomly. Sometimes I can fire it off two or more times in quick succession and others it tell me I can not use it yet. I have not been able to discern any pattern whatsoever. The description does not indicate any waiting time between uses or if any sort energy is needed to recharge it. Does anyone have any information about usage specifics? I would really like to get moving forward beyond Kalos and bosses at or above the Princess No level.

Yet again, thanks for any and all help in this and my other frustrations.

    This is an Ascent skill. Ascent skills can be used up to three times during bosses, only once per 4 minutes outside of bosses.
    When you enter a Weekly Boss all your skill cooldowns are reset, including Ascent. This however does NOT apply to daily bosses.
    The cooldown of ascent skills in particular will always reset upon entering a boss, regardless of weekly or daily. (This is only for ascent.)
    You can get a better detailed result of how this skill works exactly by hovering over it in the skill or hotkey window, hovering over it in the HEXA Menu will not properly explain how the skill works.

    tl;dr Ascent is a powerful iframe that can be used three times during any boss or on a four minute CD while grinding.

    Thank you. I have been playing this game for a while but , as they say, learning is lifelong. Your help is mightily appreciated.
