Powers:
Spittle of Fire: 0 points, Init +2, Ignem
R: Special, D: Mom, T: Ind
[tab][/tab]Venkath can spit cabbage sized globs of flame to inflict damage upon whatever it strikes. For Maurice, the combined Damage and Range (in paces) equals a maximum of his Might score of 33. So typically up to +18 Damage and a Range up to fifteen paces.
CrIg5 (Base 4, +1 Rego for projection)
Greater Power (5 levels)
Improved Power (-1 cost, +1 Initiative)
Variable Power
Gout of Fire: 0 points, Init 0, Ignem
R: Special, D: Mom, T: Ind
[tab][/tab]Venkath can breathe a gout of flame that shoots out about 33 paces and is about five paces wide, inflicting +33 fire damage. The fire comes from within his lungs (R: Per), so subtract the number of paces distant from the damage inflicted.
As a variable power, the range/size/damage of the gout is adjustable. They may be as little as desired, the maximum Range &/or Damage equals his Might score, and the width may be up to one-fifth his Might score.
CrIg10 (Base 5, +1 Rego for projection):
Greater Power (10 levels)
Improved Power (-1 cost, +1 Initiative)
Variable Power
Torrent of Fire: 1 point, Init 0, Ignem
R: Special, D: Mom, T: Ind
[tab][/tab]Drawing from deep within Venkath can belch forth a mighty torrent of fire, creating a fiery sphere of fire encompassing him and those close by. The diameter is up to eleven paces and inflicts +33 damage to all within (save for Venkath, who is immune to fire).
As a Variable power fire may be adjusted from as little as an aura to a Diameter equal to half his Might. The effect can be as low as heats and light or a torrent inflicting damage up to his Might score.
CrIg25 (Base 5, +1 Rego, +3 Size):
Greater Power (25 levels)
Improved Power (-2 cost, +3 Initiative)
Variable Power
Flight: 1 point, Init 0, Animal
R: Per, D: Conc, T: Ind
[tab][/tab]Venkath can fly, though with some effort and difficulty because of his size. Though he has wings, he relies on Magic for this power. It costs a point of might to activate or reactivate flight, and his top speed equals his Might score (33mph), Athletics rolls can grant a further speed bonus if Fatigue is spent. Finesse is used for grace and maneuvering, and Concentration is for maintaining flight.

Background: Venkath is the undisputed leader of the pack. He is not nearly as smart as Maurice, nor as large as Simon, but he exudes ruthless and confident leadership. He has a goal of becoming a powerful dragon one day, and he will let nothing stand in his way. Since the death of Lord Featherbottom, he has been targeted by at least two other Bjornaer magi that are now dead. He has also tormented at least one village and amassed a small horde. He has yet to abduct a bride.
