Rank 2

Effect: The wearer can throw bolts of fire and air up to 50 yards, at a cost of 1 Strain Point per bolt. Throwing a bolt requires a successful Spellcasting Test against the Spell Defense of the intended target. A successful attack with a fire bolt does Willforce +2 steps of damage. On a successful attack with the air bolt, the wearer makes a Willforce Test.

To use this power, the wearer makes a Willforce Test against the result of the Attack Test. If this test succeeds, the wind shield deflects the attack. Using either type of shield costs the wearer 1 Strain Point. Each shield may be used only once per round, though both may be used at the same time against the same target.
