Burning Ectoplasm

Item

Image
Description	This carefully contained sample has been violently on fire since it was created. On the bright side, it looks like something a mythical hero might carry to light her way. But there's really no good excuse for why it hasn't burned out yet.
Type	Usable Quest
Requires	8 Base Will
Use	The ectoplasm explodes, seemingly with malice. Tendrils of flame wrap around you, scorching you.
Multi	As you begin to examine the ectoplasm, it explodes into a mass of flames, setting off the other samples. You're enveloped in a pillar of fire that seems driven by malice, channeling all its energies into burning you. And, if using them drops HP to 0: You wake up several minutes later, the deep burns over your body slowly healing. In retrospect, that might not have been a great idea. If, instead, you survive and had used 5 at once: You're still standing… wow. Well, chalk one up to preparation. If you use 5 at once, survive, and have Pyro, Driven Healer or Twisting Chains: You manage to channel the fiery ectoplasm into your body, learning a new level of control over fire.
Effects	You take <x> damage. Using 5 and surviving (first time)*: You've learned a new Skill: Fire Trained Using 5 and surviving, with Pyro, Driven Healer or Twisting Chains*: You've learned a new Skill: Leaping Flame

* These skills are mutually exclusive.
