Example Powers 2

Here is another power with specific examples of how it can be used by different groups and power sources.

Bolt: This power allows its user to make a ranged attack for 3D damage with a basic success. Advantage can be spent to generate additional bolts or add +1D to a bolt's damage.

• The Necromancers of Taj Neroth call this spell “The Breath of Choth Ka”. It is a Focus power (difficuly 2) that causes the caster to exhale a long tendril of greenish black smoke that lashes out to strike like a serpent each round for as long as the caster maintains the spell. The caster must make a Cunning roll to hit with it. Its touch burns like acid but no scientific analysis of the wounds has ever revealed the presence of any chemical agents.
• Among the Elemental Mages, this power is known as many different spells. Most of them are Instant powers that create some sort of projectile: Pyre Lance, Frost Missile, Acid Jet, Lightning Bolt, and so on, but there are exceptions. The Stone Talons spell causes spikes to erupt from the ground to skewer its target. Chant of Ignition is a Focus power that allows the caster to burn targets within line of sight with a Shooting roll each round the chant is maintained. The Frost Scorpion spell is a difficulty 4 (Scene duration 3 +1 for extra damage die) power that generates a large cloud of shimmering ice crystals vaguely shaped like a siege engine; it floats around the caster, who can use it to deal 4D damage to a target every round with a Shooting roll.
• Aetheric Engineers use this power to create a variety of death rays. The most common types are disintegrators that pervert tractor beam technology to rip targets apart on the molecular level, irradiators that bombard a target with highly energetic particle beams, or disruptors that use pulsing waves of energy to break down the atomic bonds in the target's molecules. Hermetic Dynamicists use this power to create lasers and heat rays and Cryobionicists from Neptune have been known to use it to give their war creatures the ability to extrude and launch ice missiles.
• Ma Quy Templars use the Cthonic Source to focus their hatred and anger to telekinetically crush and choke their enemies. Dai Zha templars sometimes use this ability against inanimate objects or to indirectly strike a foe by telekinetically flinging an object as a projectile, but such things are usually frowned upon by their order. In either case, this "Telekinetic Bolt" is a Focus power that can be used with a Concentration roll every round that the power is maintained. 
• The Tyrian Brotherhood does not use this power.
