The Pyroslinger flicks the chamber of his revolver, before pointing it at a location and firing it like a normal bullet. The location the flaming bullet strikes, as long as it isn't 25 feet away, will eurput into a 10 foot area of flame, and shreds armor, light flammable objects on fire, and generally wreak havoc. If the bullet goes more than 25 feet away, it harmlessly fades in the air, and there is a 4/10 chance the revolver just doesn't fire.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Location no further than 25 feet from you and in your line of sight. You must actively and obviously use Revolver to activate this Effect. Roll a single d10, Difficulty 4. If you fail or botch, the Effect fails and you cannot activate it again for an hour. The area within 10 feet of the chosen Location immediately and obviously becomes imminently dangerous. Roll Dexterity + Firearms at Difficulty 6. Targets inside the radius may attempt an appropriate Reaction at GM’s discretion. Finding a physical barrier to use as cover will cut total Damage taken in half (applies after Reaction roll but before Armor).
If the Outcome is positive, your blast hits everything within 10 feet of the chosen Location with Damage equal to your Outcome + 4. Armor is fully effective against this Damage.
Any flammable Objects within the radius during the blast will catch fire, and any being who takes at least 4 Damage will catch fire. Starting the Round after they caught fire, flaming targets take 2 Damage per Round until the fire is extinguished.
If you successfully hit a target with this Effect, the value of any Armor they are wearing is reduced by 2. This penalty lasts until the armor is repaired.
This is a power that Luci could not hope to wield, even with Ena's help. No, it is Ena herself who is solely capable of something so cataclysmic in scale and even then, she can only do so on the backing of specific conditions. There is only a small window in which Ena can amass the power to rip open a one-way portal from the Well:
- Luci's alternate form, Ena, must be triggered and active.
Whereafter, Ena clasps their hands together and chants with a wide smile upon her face. Ink surges out from beneath her feet in vast quantities, using it as a medium to jump start the portal that leads to the Well. And once it takes, the flow becomes a cascade that surges forth in large quantities, working rather quickly to rapidly fill out a large space. Along with the hazy darkness comes a dizzying feeling of being upside down and inside out. The air is thick and suffocating, and slows the mind. An uncountable number of creatures from oblivion reach out of the refuse, touching, grabbing, pulling, biting, scratching, clawing, crawling, and gnashing like mindless beasts.
Those that are unfortunate enough to be close enough to see Umbra activate this effect will meet eyes with one of The Well's Eidolons. And take it from Luci herself, that is no fun experience.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see Umbra's pure and sinister adversarial intent. It's almost as if a heavy pressure of immeasurable magnitude slowly dawns onto those around. All of her uncontainable intent to burn the world to the ground, backed by the insatiable hunger of the Well at her fingertips. And there is nothing to exemplify that more than with this ability.
You may only use this Effect once per day.
Cássio draws the focus card from the deck and focuses, closing his eyes. The card then bursts into shadow flame and "slots" itself into the ground, letting out a wave of arcane energy that resonates with the Veil in the target radius. Cássio then opens his eyes, which have turned pitch black, and is able to sense the impressions upon the veil where spirits have departed this realm, as well as disturbances caused by sources of otherworldly energy. Opening one's mind to this much otherworldly information at once can be dangerous, and Cássio needs to steel himself lest he be overwhelmed by the pain of the deceased.
