Tags: Fire, Magic, Ranged, Strike
Range: Ranged 10
Target: One creature or object
Roll results:
- ❌ 9 fire damage
- ✅ 12 fire damage
- ⭐ 15 fire damage
Persistent 1: As you use this ability, decide whether you want to maintain the enemy burning and, if so, reduce the amount of essence you earn at the start of your turn by 1. If you do and the target is within distance at the start of your turn, you can make the power roll again, as a free maneuver, without spending further essence. You can stop maintaining this ability at any time (no action required).
# Persistent Magic (Note)
Whenever you use a persistent ability, you decide whether you want to maintain it, and start doing so immediately after you first use the ability. You reduce the amount of essence you earn at the start of your turn by an amount equal to the ability’s persistent value. You can stop maintaining an ability at any time (no action required). A creature can’t be affected by multiple instances of a persistent ability. If you take 5 or more damage equal in one turn, you stop maintaining any abilities.
# Explosive Assistance (Trigger: You or an ally force moves a creature)
You add a little magic to an ally’s aggression at just the right time.
