Everything

A staple of anime and chop-socky films, this feat channels chi into elemental manifestations: flaming hands, stone skin, metal spikes, and so forth.

In all cases, the mage employs a combination of Life 3, Prime 3, and Forces or Matter 3. Life alters the martial-artist’s physical form. Prime combines the free-flowing essential chi (Quintessence) with the chi in the mage’s body, energizing the whole so that he inflicts and resists aggravated damage. Forces invokes fire, electricity or air, while Matter invokes wood, metal or stone, and the third Rank of the appropriate Spheres allows them to “collaborate” with one another.

Damage, from elemental chi-fury attacks, depends upon the element in question. Most elements also affect their local environment, and might start fires, shake the ground, or cause other devastating consequences. For details, see Environmental
