### **Storm**

**Effect:** The user generate a storm-like area filled with their element.

* **Dice Pool:** [Wits + Elemental Mastery]
	+ **AP Multiplier:** [Mega-Wits]

**Description:** The user can generate a storm-like area filled with their element. Examples include blizzards, firestorms, sandstorms, earthquakes, tornadoes, sonic fields and ice patches. Each turn, Storm typically inflicts two levels of bashing damage per dot in the power rating, reduces opponent's dice pools by two (from whipping winds, fiery gouts or poor footing) and halves movement and vision. Other effects are up to the Storyteller and should be based on common-sense views of the effects of the element. For example, anyone moving through a blizzard or earthquake might have to make an Athletics or Flight roll to keep from slipping and falling, and they would risk hypothermia; anyone in a firestorm would take lethal damage instead of bashing. Define with Storyteller how this power functions at purchase.
