Patricks inner Fae fire has begun to burn. He was taught by the fae to bring this magical fire forth and burn his enemies before him by cauing their luck to turn against them and actually magically ignite burning them alive.


Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a target within arm's reach.

You may start or extinguish a fire as large as a Christmas tree fire at your target. You may create or extinguish fires the size of a lighter or candle flame without Exerting your Mind. Fires you start will burn for 5 rounds without any fuel or oxygen, and cannot be manually extinguished during this time. Afterwards, they require fuel and oxygen in order to continue burning, and can be extinguished as normal.

Lighting a target on fire deals 5 damage per round, starting in the next round after the one in which they caught fire. This damage is reduced by Armor, but the target’s Armor rating will be depleted by any damage dealt, destroying the Armor once it reaches 0.

  • Someone may attempt to extinguish a fire that you started by spending an Action and rolling Dexterity + Athletics, Difficulty 8.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
