Touch of the Aeonfire

Type of Spell: Active Art, damage over time

Owner: Rhy Shen

Touch of the Aeonfire releases that corrupted black flame in a burst around Rhy Shen. Up to several enemies within close range are ignited with Dark Aeonfire, suffering intense damage over time as the flame devours their Athem pathways, vitality, and metaphysical outline.

The fire grows stronger as it feeds, making Athem refinement users especially vulnerable.

Origin

The original Aeonfire was the primal spark that ignited the first cycle of existence — a holy flame that belonged only to the Juru in Teel . When Rhy Shen stole a fragment of the flame, the Aeonfire did not remain pure in his grasp. His dark signature bled into it, twisting it. The flame turned black, becoming something that should not exist. What Rhy Shen wields afterward is the Dark Aeonfire, a corruption of the original spark — no longer creation’s flame, but a fire that erases existence.
