| Ghost-Flame Shintai |
| The Ghost-Flame Shintai, the Fire element analog, allows its practitioners to evoke the 'shade-time flame': raw Chi energy from the spirit world. This energy manifests as unearthly fire, which radiates from a vampire's eyes, mouth, hands or entire body. * Goblin Face The vampire's eyes and mouth blaze with eerie Chi energy, which manifests as flame of the appropriate (Yin blue or Yang red) color. When the vampire speaks, flames lick from her mouth. This power is exceedingly unnerving; most animals and mortals flee when confronted by a vampire using this power. ** Goblin Spark The vampire can conjure a piece of her Chi and send it forth from her body as Ghost-flame. At this level, the flame is not conentrated enough to burn, but it does sting(Yang fused) or chill(Yin fused). All sorts of interesting effects are possible: lights, shapes, even pyrotechnnic sparks. *** Goblin Shapes The vampire develops more precise control over the flame emitted. He may emit larger quantities of flame and may configure the flame into all manner of complex shapes. These constructs are obviously of luminous spirit matter, but can comprise many colors. **** Goblin Scorch Tha vampire becomes a living (well, undead) flame-thrower, breathing a gout of Yin- or Yang-flame, like the dragons of early Ages. ***** Goblin Lantern With this power, the vampire can ignite her entire body, thus surrounding it in a corona of Chi fire. Kuei-jin call this effect 'The Little Son'. ***** * Goblin Sword Ghost-flame springs from the Kuei-jin's hands, forming a sword-like fiery weapon that damages both body and soul. ***** ** Goblin Portal WIth this power, a Kuei-jin can 'ride the paths of flame' just like other Cayathans can travel via dragon lines. ***** ***Goblin Call A kuei-jin with this power can call ghost-flame spirits from either the Yang or Yin worlds. The flame-spirit serves him faithfully for a short time, then returns to its home. ***** **** Mantle of the Flame Emporer Ghost-Flame masters say that within each of us, there lies a flame. This power allows them to stroke that flame to the point where the victim is immolated. |
