Using this technique, the user sends forth his blazing chakra to imitate the wrath of the god of fire, burning his foes down to ashes. With a single swing of his sword, the user creates a 30-ft. long cone of fire that deals 5d8 points of fire damage to any creature caught in the area of effect, damage which can be halved with a successful Reflex save. The fire will damage unattended objects and set fire to combustibles. If the user so wishes, he may use this technique in melee against a foe (and likely provoke an Attack of Opportunity). In this situation, the user can use the opportunity to make a single melee attack against the creature before sending forth the blaze. This attack determines the direction of the cone and, if it hits, implies a -4 penalty to Reflex saves to the targeted creature.
Empower
The user may increase the damage by 1d8 at the cost of 2 additional point of Chakra (maximum 5d8 plus 1d8 per 3 levels, or 10d8). If the attack scored a critical, only the weapon damage is multiplied.
Material Focus: The user's piercing or slashing weapon.
