When you release your element without restraint in a directed attack, roll +Surge.

• 10+: Deal 3 harm to your target. The element lingers — the area remains dangerous until the scene shifts or someone clears it.
• 7–9: Deal 2 harm. The release is messier than intended — collateral effects the GM describes.

When you reshape the environment around you using your element, roll +Surge.

• 10+: Create a significant, lasting environmental change in the scene — walls of ice, fire suppression, wind that makes ranged attacks impossible.
• 7–9: The change happens but is unstable — it holds until something disrupts it or you stop maintaining focus.

You feel your element wherever it exists in the environment, fire in buildings, water underground, electricity in systems. Range is one city block. No roll required. For precise location of small traces, roll +Intuition.

When you use your element for movement, roll +Surge.

• 10+: Move anywhere in the scene instantly. You arrive before anyone can react.
• 7–9: Reach your destination but the movement is visible and leaves a trail.

You always know the state of the natural environment within several miles, weather, wildlife behavior, water sources, signs of human disturbance. In a new location, the land tells you if something is wrong before you can consciously identify it. No roll required for general awareness; for specific details roll +Intuition.

When you create an elemental shield between your team and incoming harm, roll +Surge.

• 10+: Reduce harm to your whole team by 2 from this attack.
• 7–9: Reduce harm by 1, or protect one person fully.

When you fill an area with your element to prevent approach or passage, roll +Surge.

• 10+: A 30ft area is impassable this scene. Your team can move through freely.
• 7–9: The area is dangerous, everyone takes 1 harm attempting to cross including allies.

When you attune to your element in the environment to sense what has happened here, roll +Intuition.

• 10+: The element remembers. Learn three concrete facts about recent events.
• 7–9: Learn one fact, fragmented.

(1/session)

Become one with your element for one scene. Take no physical harm. Your attacks deal 3 harm automatically. You cannot use any other moves. When it ends, take 2 harm and lose one active equipment item.

When you use your mastery to suppress or extinguish your element elsewhere — calm a fire, still a storm, freeze a flood — roll +Surge.

• 10+: Completely suppressed. The element is gone from this scene.
• 7–9: Suppressed for now — it returns when your focus shifts or conditions allow it.

When your element is already present and you add to it, your harm increases by 1 and your Area Denial covers twice the space. Passive when applicable.

When you encounter another elemental power, another Elemental, a Strange phenomenon, or a device that mimics elemental output, roll +Intuition.

• 10+: Understand it completely. Know its limits and one exploitable weakness.
• 7–9: Know what it is and roughly how powerful.

You can perform fine work with your element, sculpt ice, write with lightning, weld with fire, without destroying nearby things. No roll required for safe applications. For truly delicate work, roll +Smarts.

When you have ten minutes and open sky, roll +Surge to alter the weather in a one-mile radius.

• 10+: The weather you want arrives and stays for 1 hour.
• 7–9: The weather shifts but it's unpredictable, the GM describes what actually happens.

When your element is used against you, roll +Surge to absorb it.

• 10+: Take no harm. Gain +1 forward on your next Surge roll.
• 7–9: Take 1 harm. Absorbed, you can redirect it once.

When you leave your element in an area, it persists for a scene. Anyone entering takes 1 harm unless they know it's there. You always know it's there.

Once per mission, your element communicates something to you, not in words, but in sensation and impression. The GM must give you one true piece of information about something happening in the area that you couldn't otherwise know.

(1/session)

Spend 10 minutes. Summon a large-scale elemental event, a blizzard, a firestorm, a flood, a tornado. It covers the entire mission area for one scene. Everyone, including allies, must deal with it. Work with GM on effects.

When you coat yourself in your element as a protective layer, roll +Surge.

• 10+: Gain 2 armor for the scene. Anyone striking you in melee takes 1 harm from contact.
• 7–9: Gain 1 armor — it holds until you take a significant hit.

When you would take harm from a source your element can counter, roll +Tough.

• 10+: Take no harm, your element interceded automatically.
