A Runic Branding IronFront
Found in the workshop of some Forge Lord, still held in a vice-clamp. The head is a runic shape,
6 by 6 inches, with smaller runes etched into its surface. Or at least, most of its surface. A few inches are blank, the work clearly unfinished.
To unlock the mysteries of this iron and claim its power as your own, you must...
Searing TouchReverse
When you call up the fire from your soul and pour it into your hands, roll +CON: on a 7+, your hands blaze like white-hot iron (see below); but on a 10+, first pick 1; and on a 7-9, first pick 2:
- It takes minutes of intense focus
- It burns your life force; lose HP
- The pain is terrible; mark a debility
- On a 6-, whatever else the GM says, you cannot do this again until you Convalesce.
- While your hands are ablaze, your touch deals damage (hand, messy, dangerous, 1 piercing), sets fire to wood, boils water, heats metal. Your hands are unharmed by the heat, but your gear and the rest of your body has no such protection.
- Be careful.
- Your hands blaze as long as you maintain your focus, up to a minute or maybe two.
