Dragon-Blooded Lore Charms
Sky-Darkening Storm Of The (Element) Dragon</b>
<b>Cost: 15 motes, 1 Willpower. Duration: Scene Type: Simple Minimum Lore: 6 Minimum Essence: 6 Prerequisite Charms: Dragon Vortex Attack
By extending his ability to summon forth his own element, a Terrestrial scholar may eventually learn to call forth a great storm that rapidly boils across the sky for half a mile per point of his Essence in every direction. This storm takes approximately a minute to build, then unleashes a heavy rain of glass, wooden splinters, embers, stone chips or freezing sleet and hail. This mighty ability borders on sorcery.
Life in the area of the storm becomes... difficult. Crops will be damaged, animals of all kinds will bolt for shelter, buildings will suffer, and anyone caught out in it suffers one lethal health level of damage per five minutes of exposure. This damage can be soaked to nothing using armour or (better) natural Exalt-style badassness. Survivors have their visibility sharply reduced (+2 diff to Perception checks) and their movement reduced to one quarter normal.
Finally, while the storm is raging, the Exalt who summoned it may target his Elemental Bolt Attack and Elemental Burst Technique at any point that he can see that is under the area of the storm, regardless of their normal range. The attack strikes downwards from the clouds rather than across from the Dragon-Blood.
(Oh yes, and two of these storms cannot coexist in one area. They will sort of 'bunch up' where they meet in the middle, but no other effects accrue.)
