You can use this power (on its own) in two ways:

1) Tap to put target in quicksand, then walk up to them and hold X to devour them (damage over time until they die, giving you health the whole time).

2) Press and hold 2 to drag the target to you, in quicksand and devour them for health until they die.

When they die they come back as a sand shadow - sort'v like a Nekros shadow, but sand coloured. The sand shadows are not worth the time - it takes too long to fully devour a target during a mission to make it worthwhile.

The real use for this power is to tap to put a target in quicksand... then use power 3 (Sandstorm) to suck them into the vortex at which point Sandstorm performs the devouring for you automagically, stealing their health very quickly (though not creating a sand shadow...  but who cares?). Trap a bunch of targets in quicksand before turning on Sandstorm and you're back to full health almost instantly, and you just let Rage build your energy back up.
