Apply a penalty to their attack rolls by 1. 4. Select two options from above to apply. Blaster Mode By expending 2 charges, as an action, you may augment the Pixel Buster to gather aether energy before releasing a massive blast of energy. Make a ranged attack roll against a creature within 120ft of you. On a successful hit, you will deal 2d6 + your Dexterity Modifier + 10 force damage to the creature and cause them to make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature is Weakened and will take 5 additional damage from all attacks until the start of your next turn. Allow Changes? By expending 3 charges, you may utilize aether space editing to change the makeup of a creature. As an action, choose a creature within 60ft of you and force them to make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, the creature takes 3d6 + Your Dexterity Modifier + 5 force damage, and you may select one damage type of your choice. If the creature has immunity or resistance to that damage type, they lose them until the end of your next turn. If the creature had no resistance or immunities to the damage type, they instead are vulnerable to that damage type until the end of your next turn. On a successful save the creature takes half damage and no additional effects. Aether Projection By expanding 1 charge, you may use the Pixel Buster to cast the Minor Illusion cantrip. When using this cantrip you may choose both a sound and an image when used. The Aether projections created when using the Minor Illusion cantrip will be DC21. On subsequent turns, you may also alter the projected hologram as a bonus action for the duration of the cantrip.
