Elemental Air, Fly Like The Wind

Good At: Moving Air (+6)

Bad At: Resisting Vacuum (-2)

Stress [1][2][3]

Mild (2)

Moderate (4)

Severe (6)

This large cloud-like creature has dark hollows reminiscent of eyes and a mouth, and a howling wind whips it into ominous shapes. Moving like a cyclone, and able to expand and contract itself rapidly at will, this elemental is fast and dangerous.

Note that the 'Moving Air' ability bonus applies to any sort of action that involves air, requiring only narrative justification.

Large Air Elemental

Immune To Electricity: Because I am immune to electricity, I am unaffected by any malign effect that relies on electricity.

Fast Flyer: Because I am able to fly very fast, if I do nothing but move while flying I may use this ability to move four zones instead of two.

Lightning Storm (-3): Because of my elemental affinity I am able to project an arc of electricity that jumps from target to target. Each exchange I gain +4 to attack all enemy targets in my zone or an adjacent zone without having to split my shifts between them.

Mundane Reduction: Because I am extremely resistent to non-magical damage, I reduce by two (2) all stress inflicted on me by normal mundane weapons and attacks.

The target cannot attack, create advantage, or move more than one (1) zone until the Aspect is removed; it may be overcome as a Good (+3) difficulty and failed attempts to overcome remove an invoke.

Stoney Skin: Because of my elemental affinity I am able to protect myself with a stoney skin that shields me from damage, I reduce by one (1) all stress inflicted on me by physical and magical attacks.
