Firestorm
Firestorm
Ritual Rank 11
Prerequisites: Eldritch Rank 9, Raging Inferno as a Mastered Spell
Potency: 55
Components: 5 bottles of Fire Essence and an Air Elemental's Wind
Requirement: You must be outside, in an area of dense vegetation
Cost: 2 Karma, 15 Stamina Burn, and 15 Resolve Burn
Prep Time: 3 Days
Cast Time: 6 hours
Effect: You spend 3 days in deep concentration at the location where your Firesotrm will originate, attuning yourself to the ebb and flow of the winds and breezes that run through the air. On the fourth day, you place the 5 bottles of Fire Essence the the points of a pentagram drawn in the dirt, with you and the Air Elemental's Wind placed in the center. At the end of your incantation, the Air Elemental's Wind is released, whipping around you in a cyclone and bursting open the bottles of Fire Essence. The air swirling around you catches fire, then spreads out in an ever increasing circle of wind and fire. Standing within the eye of the Firestorm, you are unharmed as the world burns.
The Firestorm creates a Rank 7 Natural Disaster, which spreads up to 10,000ft in all directions from the center (provided there is sufficient fuel to continue the fire). The firestorm moves at a rate of 100ft per moment, so it is difficult but possible to evacuate some people quickly, especially if it takes them further from the origin of the firestorm. Flammable structures within the area catch fire.
On the 2nd day of preparations, the power behind this ritual is felt by natural animals within 3 miles, and they instinctively flee the surrounding area.
