2. Heat Metal

Ranian Cycle

BTS:

• vs being Heated (for Magic Items only) = 54% (Wp) -5% per plus given by the Magic Weapon (e.g. a Sword with +1 (5%) to A, +1 (5%) to P and +1 to DAM would get -15% to BTS)

• vs Heat Damage: 54% (Co)

ULT: 16 hours

Materials: fire making equipment

Actions: gesture with Materials as if making fire

Effect of Throw:

1 to 12 No Effect

³ 13    Heat 25(T-12) wt pts

Duration:    t min    - t(t-1)/2

Range:    30d ft    -d(d-1)/2

Radius:    3r ft    -r(r-1)/2

Time to heat fully (min. 1 sec):    (6-h) sec    -h(h-1)/2

Notes:

1. Rapidly heats up all metal within Radius to a temperature doing d6 Gen Dam / MR (with ST).
2. Will affect metal weapons and armour.  Magic items get ST against being heated.
3. Radius is determined on Spell taking effect.  Metal items caught within Radius are then heated for Duration, even if leave Radius.
4. If there are more wt pts of metal within Radius than wt pts given by T, the lightest items are selected first (or randomly between items of equal weight) until all the wt pts given by T are used up.  Any items not selected or for which there are insufficient wt pts remaining are not heated at all.  Individual pieces of armour count as separate items for the purpose of deciding which items are heated.
5. Each heated item does Dam separately, but suits of armour count as one item for this purpose (irrespective of how many pieces of them are heated).
6. At end of Duration, heated items cool down instantaneously.
