Breathe Fire (VH)

Regular 
Similar to Flame Jet, except that the flame issues from the caster’s mouth, Breathe Fire cannot be maintained, and each energy point buys 1d+1 damage instead of 1d. Caster rolls to hit against DX-2 or Innate Attack skill. This counts as an action; the caster must be facing the target. 
No hand gestures are required to cast this spell; certain lip and tongue motions are made instead. Thus, Breathe Fire can be cast “no hands” at any level of skill.

Duration: 1 second. 
Cost: 1 to 4. Cannot be maintained. 
Time to cast: 2 seconds. 
Prerequisites: Magery 1, Flame Jet, and Resist Fire.

Item 
Jewelry. Usable only by mages.  
Energy cost to create: 1,000; must include $500 worth of gold and a $500 ruby.
