Art History

Blast was created by K'k'at.

K'k'at was a mystic of sorts in his Cloudsbreak region, being a master of illusion, and the more powerful sorceries. When he came to the Dream, he found that he could replicate many of these powers, save his most favorite, that of levitation. Rather than start with levitating himself, he tried to form a smaller version, telekinesis. After a lot of concentration and research, he found that he could levitate small objects a few inches above his work bench, but nearly inevitably, they would shatter. Also, if he blinked, or tried to move the item beyond his sight, it would fail, and drop again. This could have continued much further, were it not for the visit of Rhyssa, another DreamWright. Interrupting his concentration one harrowing eve, she tapped him on the shoulder... still deep in concentration, K'k'at gave her an intense glare ... and a fair headache. Astonished at what had occurred, the two worked on forming this new art, which could harm a Dreamer with the merest of glances, and a fair amount of Insight. From these efforts, came the Art of Blast, with the same restrictions as it's predecessor.. for the Dreamer must see their target to be successful.

Notes

The user must have line of sight to the target. This means that the art can be avoided by hiding behind obstacles, being buffed with Chamele, or inflicting Blind on the user. Naturally, the latter two options are ineffective if the user has Vision.
