Bend Fire

[Time:: Action] [Target:: Up to a Medium Sized patch of fire in Shooting Distance]
[Components:: Health and Vitality]
[Test:: Mage Stat Concentrating]

Regardless of your Mage Stat Score, this Ability takes effect.

Control fire you can see within range. The fire being manipulated must fit within a 1u cube. Fire manipulated by this Ability counts as a Fire Zone if it fills a cube or more of space.

You can manipulate the fire in one of the following ways:

• Move.
  You can temporarily move the fire 1u in any direction.
• Spread.
  • You can spread the fire, creating an adjacent patch of fire that is up to 1u cube in size.
• Suppress.
  • You can temporarily extinguish up to a 1u cube of flames. If this suppression is maintained for 12 seconds (2 rounds), it becomes permanent.
• Colorize.
  • You can change a fire's color.
• Animate.
  • You can form simple, faltering shapes in the heart of the fire and animate them. (Examples: A deer running through a forest jumping over fallen logs.)

The fire will only last in a new location if there is some form of fuel present or if you maintain your Focus on the Ability. Losing Focus may, therefore, cause a chosen effect to end. As an Action, you can dismiss or change the effect you chose without rerolling Focus. For example, you can move a flame 2u by using 2 Actions.

Upgrades:

• Defensive.
  • Gain a Base+1 Defense against all Fire damage.
• Influence.
  • Your Move option is stronger in the following ways:
    You can move a fire up to 4u and have it touch up to 4 creatures as you move it. All creatures touched must immediately make the Fire Zone saving throw. You can move a flame created by the Create option without requiring additional Focus.
• Intensity. Requires Level 10.
