Sacred Flame Be the bomb you wish to see in the world.

1
The power to cause a destructive blast of damage in an area.
Used by Eddie Boom, Created by bubblesmctroubles.
(This Effect is obviously Alien when used. Both the source of the effect, as well as the danger zone it creates, are obvious to observers. )

The room grows warm and your eyes glow a soft golden hue as you raise an open palm towards the target. For an instant, you hold the heat and light of a star in your hand before it begins to hum gently through the air with ethereal grace, inviting free floating particles plucked from the air to join it in the dance. The orb then quiets as it settles into its final destination and illuminates the area marked for doom. It collapses in on itself there and then burns white hot. Within seconds, it explodes.

Congratulations, your extensive experience with explosives paired with a healthy dose of pyromania has manifested itself as the Gift "Sacred Flame"! Welcome to the wonderful world of a minute's worth of pyro-specific telekinesis and mindbogglingly speedy scientific calculations! If amazingly glorious explosions are what you're looking for, we promise customer satisfaction is guaranteed. Now, let's put the rumors to rest- are the reports of madness as a side-effect true? Wellll... let's just say we prefer the term "one man cult." After all, who knows better than you that Chaos is nature, and the Light must reign? Nothing is sacred but the flame (｀∀´)Ψ

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Location within 40 feet. The area within 25 feet of the chosen Location immediately and obviously becomes imminently dangerous. Anyone in the area has 1 Round to attempt to escape. During the next Round, on your Initiative, roll Intellect + Science at Difficulty 6.

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

Any flammable Objects within the radius during the blast will catch fire, and any being who takes at least 4 Damage will catch fire. Starting the Round after they caught fire, flaming targets take 2 Damage per Round until the fire is extinguished.

If you successfully hit your target, the value of any Armor they are wearing is reduced by 2. For material armor, this penalty lasts until it is repaired. For intrinsic armor, it lasts until the end of Combat and any relevant wound is healed.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Pyro's Green Thumb: You must roll Self-Control to avoid helping fires grow and Moth: You must roll self control to avoid staring into flames, losing you a free action during initiative.

  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
