Shard lifts her face towards the sky, and the crystal in her forehead glows gently.
"In the beginning, there was only the sun and stars. Those of us who lived ate light, for light was the food of the spirits. It filled us and made us strong and gave us the will to struggle against the darkness when it came...at first..."
As she speaks what must be a spell, streams of light become visible spiraling in a circle and wrapping around that crystal with it in the middle. The whirling pattern was reminiscent of a whirlpool in water, as though the crystal were somehow drawing light into itself. Sure enough though, the glow becomes brighter and brighter with each passing moment.
Abruptly a dazzling white bar, perfectly straight, is drawn in the air between her and one of the abyssal raptors. It hovers steadily for a moment, then cuts across and down, cutting through flesh and bone and leaving a glassed streak in the sand where it touches.
(Lucent Lance! Caster level: 17 http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1477828/ (rolled 16, but Light descriptor spells are +1 CL for her), firing at the raptor at X-19. Ranged touch to hit: 19 http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1477831/ . Because she's Blinking, the raptor doesn't get its dex bonus against her. Does 45 damage. http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1477832/ Target is blinded for 1 round (can't see until just before her next action), and dazzled (-1 attack rolls) for 1d4 rounds.)
