Balefire consumes the very essence of every­ one it burns; even once extinguished it leaves horrific scars. Use the rules for fire (W20, p. 258) with the following changes:

• Balefire deals unsoakable aggravated damage. Only the dice provided by the Gift: Resist Toxin can attempt to soak the damage. • Balefire wounds take double the normal time to heal. • A character who relies on her Rage to stay active when hurt by balefire must select two Battle Scars instead of one.
