Legacy Power: The Fires of Naqam

Not all fires are warm

A 1 Gift Pyromancy Power used by Elliot Shan, created by LiteraryAdventures.

Description

Elliot utters a short, guttural phrase as a black ooze drips out the corners of his mouth. A dull flame emerges from the target, absorbing any surrounding light as it spreads like pools of shadow. The dark flames give off an intense heat but no smoke.

System

Exert your Mind and spend an Action to create or extinguish a fire as large as A firepit's fire (4 Damage per round) at a Location or on any target within 20 feet. These fires are mundane, and require fuel and oxygen to burn. Fires the size of a lighter or candle flame can be created or extinguished without Exerting your Mind.

Lighting a creature on fire deals A firepit's fire (4 Damage per round), starting the round after the first. Armor reduces this damage, but is likely to be damaged or destroyed after one or two rounds. Fires may be extinguished by the target if they spend an Action and roll Dexterity + Athletics, Difficulty 8.

Drawbacks

  • Traumatic (You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means.)
  • Sacrifice (Activating this Effect requires you to take a Severity-1 Injury instead of Exerting your Mind or spending a point of Source. This Injury heals in 1 day and cannot be prevented or prematurely healed by any means.)
  • Half the Equation (You may only create or extinguish fires, not both.)
    • Create or Extinguish - Create

Parameters

Range: 1 ( 20 feet ) Fire Size: 2 ( A firepit's fire (4 Damage per round) )
