Mask of Fire and Stone

## Summary

The Mask of Fire and Stone is a special mask that allows the user to use abilities centered around and control the elements of Fire and Stone, as the name implies. The user also has increased speed, and can instantly summon a small but practically invincible bubble shield of rock and flame for a short time.

## Usage

This mask is worn and used by Potahu, Toa of Fire and Stone. While he already can imitate the abilities of this mask, wearing it will not only enhance these abilities but compound his power, acting as an energy beacon in practice.

While the mask may be worn by anyone, and anyone can access the powers it grants, there are several case-specific limitations.

### Okotoans

An Okotoan (not a Toa, this refers to the villagers and Protectors residing on or originating from the island of Okoto) wearing the mask will have the shield and speed powers, but to a much weaker effect. In this scenario, the same would apply to the elemental control.

### Undead

Assuming they can handle the power, there are still limitations in an even more specific basis. They are generalized as follows:

#### Common Soldiers

Foot soldiers can indeed make use of the Mask of Fire and Stone if their head fits inside the mask. If so, these are general rules to go off of:

* Wearing the Mask of Stone and Fire will usually forcefully explode the wearer, unless they have achieved sufficient mental discipline.
* Most undead creatures will feel faster, but this is simply a mental illusion on their part.
* They will become much more physically resilient to physical attack, and sometimes increase in weight/mass.
* Elemental control varies from user to user. Generally speaking, the average user would theoretically have enough to cause small leaks of lava in the ground or pick up/create a large boulder to throw or kick.

#### Commanders & Lieutenants

Leading positions of the Skull Legion or other high mental class beings can use the mask comparably to a Toa.

## Description

The Mask of Fire and Stone is largely based on the Mask of Fire, with several elements incorporated from the Mask of Stone, such as:

* vents that protrude from the mask's surface
* varied texture in the higher forehead area
* other miscellaneous texture elements such as those between the vents and mold mark, and the vents and temples of the Mask of Stone, are placed in similar regions around the Mask of Fire's chin and temple area

## Example Powers

This list details the potential usage of the mask, in assumption that the user has enough elemental energy to support these functions.

### Fire

* Creating balls of solidified fire to throw
* Sensing and manipulation of heat
* Conjuring fire from one's hand
* Emulating breathing fire like a dragon. This would start the fire in motion just forward of the lower front of the mask, around the mouth area on the underlying head.
* Bringing forth lava and/or magma from deep underground or spontaneously summoning puddles/pools from nothing
* Creating a lava golem controlled by the user's thoughts
* Bringing forth a fiery sphere to surround the user, protecting them from most forms of attack
* Triggering volcanic eruptions/activity
* Manipulating heat and flame/lava, as well as controlling one's own body temperature or that of others
* The use of one's complete store of energy to unleash a devastating all-out torrent of fire, magma, and heat

### Stone

* Creating rocks to utilize - these are typically made from sandstone
* Increased sense of awareness and direction in arid environments
* Physically stronger and more resilient
* Controlling gravel, sand, and other particle-based substances
* Faster overall speed and reaction time - depending on the user's mental capacity, they may be able to catch objects at the size and speed of a bullet
