Gear

Base Gear

Charred Scarf

Base

a fire-singed scarf. Grants decent magical protection and can burn without damaging or consuming it. Comfortably warms the user while worn. Activate to cause nearby flame to match your emotional intensity for Low duration.

Flint-striker Gloves

Base

a pair of thin leather gloves with an embedded flint striker. Provides decent environmental protection and fire immunity to your hands. Snap your fingers to direct a spark to fly up to a Low distance, instantly igniting flammable surfaces.

Ashen Robes

Base

good environmental protection, especially against heat. Open up the robes to cause smoke to billow out, extinguishing fires nearby for Low duration (Mid cooldown). Smoke will dramatically cool down the area.

Elective Gear

Cutting Torch

Elective

Light on a nearby flame to produce a cutting stream of flame. Continues to fuel itself from nearby flame while active, increasing intensity of output but becomes increasingly difficult to wield.

Ember Wisp

Elective

a small fire spirit. Will consume nearby flammable objects and grow in size but becomes increasingly unruly. Can grow to the size of a small house but must be fed proportionately or it will extinguish. When extinguished, it will become a piece of charcoal. Reignite to revive the wisp.

Thermal Lens

Elective

a thin shard of obsidian glass, used as a lens (e.g. monocle, visor). Activate while looking through the lens to gain thermal vision, including seeing emotional intensity as heat.

Abilities

Hot Under the Collar

Your body temperature rises dramatically as you emote intensely while interacting with someone. You can manipulate this energy, but if left unchecked, it will burn you alive.

(Low essence, Mid duration, Low cooldown)
The user's body temperature rises, fueled by their passionate emotions (anger, love, etc).
The user will gradually sustain severe physical damage over time if body temperature is not reduced.

Paired Action: Emote intensely, getting increasingly worked up as you interact with someone.

Searing Intensity

Your body temperature 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 temperature.
Using this ability lowers your body temperature by a Low amount, but your body temperature may rise 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 raise you body temperature 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 body heat used to fuel the ability.
Scaling examples: low, can light a candle; moderate, can shape a ball of fire; high, can shape a rough construct of a dog.
Using this ability lowers your body temperature proportionally to how much heat is utilized.

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