THE THUNDER!!!!

This Artifact allows you to cause a destructive blast of damage in an area.
Used by Vivian Cummings, Created by August.
On Legendary Artifact Storm Pendant.
( Both the source of the effect, as well as the danger zone it creates, are obvious to observers. You must obviously use this Artifact to activate this Effect. When activating this Effect, this Artifact is obviously Alien and cannot be concealed under your clothes or similar.)

The user rubs their fingers along the Pendant as clouds outside begin to coalesce and darken, the wind feeling charged as a holy light begins to envelope the radius before a crackling boom of lightning and thunder, followed by the screaming of... a Godlike being screams out, with an intense boom of lightning and thunder, causing an explosion where the lightning had landed.


Expend a point of Battery and spend an Action. Select a Location within 40 feet. The area within 25 feet of the chosen Location immediately and obviously becomes imminently dangerous. Roll Dexterity + Occult 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 25 feet of the chosen Location with Damage equal to your Outcome + 2.

  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
