Allowed items: all
It has been a long way since flame burst, and the time has come for a more
powerful combat power. Elemental combat powers turned out to be too demanding
on energy if their power is scaled up for now, and non-elemental magic is not
that easy to master. But still, shaping raw force becomes possible around this
level, and force burst is the result. It is still more of proof-of-concept for
non-elemental damage than highly refined magic, but everything needs to begin
somewhere. Force burst by itself is significantly stronger than flame burst,
and it can be even combined with it in one basic-level item to increase damage
output even further. And basic-level items can provide energy necessary for
such a configuration, if managed carefully.
