This Effect activates whenever whenever a living being larger than a mouse moves a significant amount (over a foot) within the domain. It does not require an Action or Exertion. “Your target should be intuitively based on the triggering event. This Effect cannot be used unless in domain expansion. The area within 25 feet of you immediately and obviously becomes imminently dangerous. Roll Brawn + Alertness 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 you with Damage equal to your Outcome + 2. If you botched the activation roll, you will also take full Damage from the blast, otherwise it will not hurt you.
Anyone hit by the blast may roll Body at Difficulty 7 as a Free Action, and reduce their Damage taken by the Outcome.
Something beneath the scar on Anthony's forehead opens: for a moment, there is an eye, an eye of many eyes, and then it is gone. It reappears away from him - an eye of many eyes, and orb of many orbs, and looks upon all that surrounds it with contempt. A glow shall emanate from it and all the dust and stones shall lift from upon the ground, and all shall tremble before its music. The eye of many eyes will sing for three spans of a second, and when it is done, it will close, and all it has seen will be un-made.

If the Outcome is positive, your blast hits everything within 25 feet of the chosen Location with Damage equal to your Outcome + 4.

Project Shining Star is TARP'S intention to find a method to get an immortal soul in an otherwise weak body, by any means necessary. The Conventions and rules of the real world would not stand for such experimentation, however in this simulation, any research would be viable in the pursuit of making Humanity a greater species.
Subject Shining Star is a testament to the hard work and ideals of TARP science and biological research: they have shown promise in a controlled setting, but how does it fair out in the field? Would this have militaristic applications?
While the Subject is unstable and prone to spontaneous combustion, they are otherwise the most promising in relation to the 12 others: The Soul's energy, when released without warning enshrouds the blast area with unstable radioactive isotopes. However when this energy is harnessed, the blast is able to set off without these consequences.
With this, the only notable flaw, the next stage of Shining Star is set to commence. Field research.
