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

Spend a point of Favor and take a severity-one injury to create a fire as large as A firepit's fire (4 Damage per round) 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 Wits + Athletics, Difficulty 8.

Drawbacks

  • Traumatic (You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means. If you fail or Botch, you receive one Mind Damage and a new Trauma.)
  • Sacrifice (Instead of Exerting your Mind or expending Source, activating this Effect gives a Severity-1 Injury that worsens by 1 Severity each time you use an Effect with Sacrifice. This Injury cannot be prevented by any means or healed before 1 day has passed.)
  • 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) )
