The user points their finger, and a beautiful line of dancing lights, closely resembling the Northern Lights, pours out from it. The beam elegantly bends and shimmers as it flies through the air in a primarily straight line. If the beam connects with a target, the aurora circles around them, swiping past them as it deals damage slowly over a period time (As a result of Slow). If the beam should fail to connect with a target, the lights will rapidly dim before disappearing into nothingness (this disappearance also occurs once the damage over time brought about by Slow finishes). The beam's colouration is typically green or purple, though it can occasionally manifest itself in orange, red, blue, and any other colours that the actual Aurora Borealis can appear as.
Andromeda's signature ability. She discovered it shortly after taking up residence in her observatory. She has been absolutely obsessed with it after discovering that this was something she could do. She's spent many nights just shooting it into the distance, watching the lights flicker into the night sky before fading away. She personally chooses to believe that this gift means that she is destined to be a hero, akin to Percy Jackson and other similar protagonists from young adult novels.
Andromeda's acquisition of this gift increased her already rebellious tendencies. While she was never one for listening to authority, she now believes that her power places her in a position where other people don't have the right to boss her around. She's also anxious about having her powers stolen, taken advantage of, or otherwise used by others for their own personal gain. All of this (plus some past experiences) combines to make Andromeda a child who would rather do anything other than follow an order.
