Ray

**Ray** is called so because it is imagined as the power from the Rift travelling directly in a straight line to the user. Also referred to as “advanced arcs,” these are powers that are technically limited to the connection of a single First Degree Element, however yield effects beyond the First Degree Element, or can use the First Degree Element in a league of its own. Most Rays are close guarded secrets of certain schools or organizations. However, metahumans can have predispositions to rays. For example, the Donovane Family has a predisposition to the Terroris technique, a Dark Ray. This is considered a genetic line’s deeper connection to a First Degree Element. However, it is important to note that while predisposition to rays exists, rays are not--like triarcs--strictly limited by blood.

## Fire

### Rainbow Flames

The **Rainbow Flames** is a Fire Ray used by the Diemare Family of Maldraca. The technique allows the user to summon flames of up to seven different colors (9 for Masters), each with a different application. This is strictly different from Fire Arc users who can emit enough power and temperature to turn their flames blue. Roy Diemare, the Archon of Maldraca, is a master of this technique.

### Pheonix

**Phoenix** is a Fire Ray used by the Vast Knight Arden Kulan. Largely mysterious, Phoenix is said to have allowed Arden to reignite his life force after his first “death.” Subsequently, Phoenix is deemed responsible for Arden’s ability to burn away conceptual things like pain, fatigue, hunger, and regenerate his body indefinitely through a golden flame medium.

## Water

### Hydrangea

**Hydrangea** is a Water Ray used by the Capadynan Archon Percival Rotaeus. The technique allows Percival to use Water in all its material forms (vapor, liquid, solid), and to quickly move from one to another. This Ray is also claimed to be the power behind Percival’s ability to create such large volumes of water from his body.

### Sky

**Sky** is a Water Ray used by Jaeus Sordig, giving him incredibly fine water control, allowing him to create and control clouds and effectively the weather.

### Ouroboros

**Ouroboros** is a Water Ray, and related closely to the Phoenix Fire Ray. Used by the disgraced Vast Knight Dorian Kulan, the largely mysterious Ouroboros is said to have allowed Dorian to restart the flow of his life after his first “death.”

## Air

### Kneraskhan

The **Kneraskhan** is an Air Ray used by the Khan Family of Korrento. The mechanics and use of the technique are largely kept a secret of the family, and it is considered their signature technique. The Kneraskhan gives the Khan finer manipulation of air particles, allowing them to create solid constructs of air.

### Void

**Void** is an Air Ray used by the Yolus Family of Korrento. The mechanics and use of the technique are largely kept a secret of the family, and it is considered their signature technique. Void gives the Yolus the ability to banish air particles, creating areas of vacuum and void space fields.

## Earth

### Planet

**Planet** is an Earth Ray created by Georgius Gerran and passed to his student Ross Redkeye. While Ross only knows the basics, Georgius Gerran is a master of this technique, which allows him to condense earthen to such an intense degree that it gains unparalleled defensive capability, as well as some gravitational powers. Damon Dark is known to have created an Earth Ray with similar capabilities, however, his compression of earth is much weaker, leading to the creation of diamond rather than gravitational control.

## Light

### Sanctum

**Sanctum** is a Light Ray monopolized by the Ulrick Organization of Lumia. Sanctum is a system of techniques based in blessings, dominion, and high enchantments. Users of Sanctum tend to have very good fortune and luck, and fare better in battle against those using the Dark Arc.

### Knight

**Knight** is a Light Ray monopolized by the Ulrick Organization of Lumia. Knight grants an average or weak metahuman a whole-cloth transformation that may grant them with new power in addition to boosting all of their base stats.

## Dark

### Monster

**Monster** is a Dark Ray monopolized by the Tenebrus Family of Vanaira. Monster is a  technique that allows the user to physically augment and transform their body into a powerful monstrous form with new powers.

### Terroris

**Terroris** is a Dark Ray monopolized by the Donovane Family of Vanaira. Markedly one of the most powerful Rays, Terroris is a system of techniques that offers the user powers over the mind, body, and the world around them.
