Abilities

Hot Under the Collar

Your body builds up heat as you emote intensely while interacting with someone. You can tap into this power, but if left unchecked, it will burn you alive.

(Low essence, Mid duration, Low cooldown)
The user builds up heat, fueled by their passionate emotions (anger, love, etc).
The user will gradually sustain magical fire damage over time if heat is not released.
If heat is not lowered after the ability duration or reaches critical levels this ability will release a wave of flame emanating from the user, scaling with how much heat has built up. Doing so resets heat to baseline.

Paired Action: Emote intensely, getting increasingly worked up.

Searing Intensity

Your body’s heat manifests as a commanding presence as you inspire allies and neutrals while intimidating your enemies.

(Low-Mid essence, Low-Mid duration, Mid cooldown)
The range of the effect scales with your body’s heat.
Using this ability lowers your heat by a Low amount, but heat may be increased by up to a High amount by extending the Paired Action into a Turning Point depicting your character giving an impassioned monologue.

Paired Action: Stand tall, breathe deep, then yell out a rallying shout or battle cry. Extend into a Turning Point to generate heat via a passionate monologue.

Controlled Burn

You gather your body’s heat into your hands, creating, shaping, and launching fire at will. More heat generates a more powerful effect however it is also harder to control.

(Low-Mid essence, Low duration, Low cooldown)
This ability’s essence cost scales with the amount of heat used to fuel the ability.
Scaling examples: at low heat, can light a candle; at moderate heat, can shape a ball of fire; at high heat, can shape a rough construct of a dog.
Using this ability lowers your heat proportionally to how much heat is utilized.

Paired Action: Using precise controlled movements, gather and concentrate your heat within your hands and carefully shape it.
