Energy-Throwing,[2] known more formally as Ergokinesis, is a form of Adept magic that allows users to fire streams of heated energy. It appears to be one of the most common Adept disciplines.

Some Warlocks are capable of using a version of Energy-Throwing. Energy-Throwing is also imitable through the use of sigils.

Mechanics[]

Energy-Throwers concentrate their magic through a single body part, typically the hands, which cannot be changed after a user's Surge. Mercy Charient uses her mouth, allowing her to pour more power into her blasts at the expense of accuracy. Frightening Jones uses his eyes, giving him great accuracy at the cost of temporary blindness after each blast.

The length of time that the stream is sustained for depends on the mage's will and ability. The same is true for the power of the energy stream. Weak blasts simply knock the target away, while stronger blasts can burn the target, melt through them, or cause them to explode.

The energy streams are "dazzling" and brightly coloured. Though the colour varies from mage to mage, purple seems to be the most common, as this is the colour of the streams fired by Dexter Vex, Nefarian Serpine, and Dacanay. Other colours include blue and gold. Mercy's streams are red and Frightening's are white, but it is unclear whether this is because they don't fire them from their hands, or whether the colour is affected by an unknown factor.
