Skill combinations, also called field combos or cross-profession combos, happen when two skills (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Skill) interact with each other, creating an additional effect. This requires two particular types of skills called initiators and finishers.
The initiator is a skill that creates an area effect (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Area_of_effect). These skills usually have a recognizable element or characteristic which determines the effect they cause on a finisher; for example, a Flamewall (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Flamewall) will allow some eligible finishers to inflict burning (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Burning).
The finisher is a skill which causes movement through or within the initiator's field (a projectile or the player). An eligible initiator augments the finisher by adding damage or creating other effects. For example, using Cyclone Axe (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Cyclone_Axe) near a Flamewall throws fire projectiles in different directions.
All initiators and finishers have effect types (called field effects and trigger effects, respectively) which determine what combinations are eligible. Finishers can only interact with one initiator at a time.
