Storm, Scorch and Explosion Release
Storm Release
Clan Raijin; 3 nodes, 12 JP. "Lightning and water woven into beams of living current."
- Laser Circus (Lv41): a halo that fires 24 or more swirling beams (4 each, outside the budget).
- Demon Dragon Storm (Lv62, S): a storm cloud for 11 s raining rays on enemies within 11 blocks. Ceiling 200.
Scorch Release
Clan Kagero; 3 nodes, 15 JP. "Fire and wind together: heat that dries anything it touches to a husk." Its signature is Desiccated (scorch damage and thirst, -30% speed).
- Extremely Steaming Murder (Lv58, S, cap 6): adds one miniature sun per point of charge (up to 6) to a ring around your head; anyone pressing in is scorched. Sneak + right click sends one sun at the target, where it clings and binds, then returns. Ceiling 200.
- Incinerating Flare Technique (Lv66; needs at least one sun out): all suns merge and are hurled as one burst (radius 5 + 1.3 per sun; 125 at the centre, outside the budget) that leaves fire.
Explosion Release
Clan Bakuen; 7 nodes, 37 JP. "Earth charged with lightning, moulded into things that detonate." Clay art.
- Explosive Palm (Lv30): 30 s of explosive fists: melee x1.3 and the foe is blasted away.
- C1 (Lv32): 6 homing clay birds spread over enemies in a cone.
- C2 Dragon (Lv50): a rideable clay dragon (90 s) that spits homing missiles every 1.1 s; it crumbles 15 s after its first missile. Casting C2 again dismisses it.
- C3 (Lv62, S): a colossal bomb dropped from 28 blocks above the aim point. Ceiling 200.
- C4 Karura (Lv78, Ultimate): a clay giant at the aim point bursts into a nano-bomb cloud expanding to radius 34 for 13 s (Erase damage, Blindness). Ceiling 300.
- C0 (Lv90, 5,000 chakra, 300 s cooldown, 10 signs): you glow for about 3 s and detonate in radius 45: 500 to everyone in the inner half, 250 at the edge (outside the budget). You die (unless in Creative). The 5-minute cooldown is kept through that death.
