Barrage: Stars and Stripes

600 OM - Requires: Ranged Proficiency, Area Attack Proficiency

Stars:

Clownpiece attempts to limit where enemies can move with a barrage of star-shaped, magical bullets. After charging up for 2 seconds, a process she needs to remain still during, she sweeps her torch out in front of her and conjures a line of 10 approximately 1 meter diameter shining stars, glowing in vibrant blues, reds, and whites. These shoot forward and spread out in a vaguely semi-circular pattern, flying forward up to 30 meters in 3 seconds before fizzling out. Each individual star is incredibly weak, doing little permanent damage, but hurting like a taser shot. The attack isn’t meant for its damage, however, as the spread is useful for forcing an enemy onto the defense for a short bit at least. Though if someone happens to be standing right in front of her as she casts it, they could potentially eat the entire barrage at once. She prefers to cast it by sweeping her torch out in front of her like she does for a lot of moves, but this attack doesn't require it. Her hand can be empty, or she could do it with a normal stick, or whatever. It's a normal use of her own magic, the torch is just for flair.

Stripes:

An attack that’s a bit more direct than the curtain of stars. Clownpiece concentrates for 2 seconds, targeting a single point within 50 meters of her, and then releases an array of two, 1 meter diameter glowing magic orbs into the air just above her head, on either side of her. After a second of silence, the orbs, which shine in a random color between red, white, and blue, unleash a laser blast directly towards that single point, intersecting at it and continuing on. The lasers glow in the same color as the parent orb, measure half a meter in diameter, and travel their distance in an instant, burning bright for one second before fizzling out. Unlike the stars, which merely sting, the stripes burn intensely, with a heat similar to that of her charged Hellfire, though concentrated in a small area. Due to the delay between summoning the orbs and the lasers being fired, Clownpiece must guess where her opponent’s going to be in a second, making it fairly difficult to land.

Both versions of the attack have a moderate energy drain to them, allowing her to use them a good few times in a fight before she wears herself out.
