 +## Tier 3 Base Card – Incantor Ascendant
 +
 +**You no longer fear the surge—you ride it.**
 +
 +You’ve mastered the element within your body. Now you master the one in your mind. By drawing on your mental and emotional reserves, you can fuel your elemental power in new ways—amplifying its range, form, and scale.
 +
 +### Core Feature: 💢 Blood Surge – Stress
 +
 +You may now use **Stress** to fuel your Blood Surges instead of HP.
 +
 +- Mark **1 Stress** to double the **damage or effect dice** of a single elemental action  
 +- You may only use one **Blood Surge** per turn  
 +- You must declare a Blood Surge **before rolling**
 +- You may not spend both **HP and Stress** in the same Surge
 +
 +<WRAP></WRAP>
 +
 +> 💢 *HP is blood. Stress is spirit. One burns the body; the other, the soul.*
 +
 +### Requirements to Advance to Tier 4 (complete 3):
 +
 +- ☐ Use a **Stress-based Blood Surge** to defeat a major threat  
 +- ☐ Create or destroy a **large-scale environmental hazard** with your element  
 +- ☐ Take down **multiple enemies** with a single shaped elemental effect  
 +- ☐ Shift the direction or morale of a scene using only your elemental presence
 +
 +## Tier 3 Feature Cards – Incantor Domain
 +
 +### 💢 Cataclysm Arc (Combat AoE – Active)
 +
 +**Action Load:** 3  
 +> *A sweeping arc of devastation.*
 +
 +Create a **line 60 feet long and 10 feet wide** originating from you.  
 +- All creatures in the line must make a **Resistance Check**  
 +- Base damage: **3d8**, or **6d8** with 💢 **Blood Surge**  
 +- Terrain in the line may be **scorched, frozen, split, or warped** at GM discretion  
 +- Works with **Extend** and **Multiply Damage**
 +
 +---
 +
 +### 💢 Elemental Avatar (Form – Active)
 +
 +**Action Load:** 2 (plus concentration)  
 +> *You become the storm, the glacier, the inferno.*
 +
 +You are wreathed in a semi-physical elemental form for **1 minute**.
 +
 +- Creatures that enter melee with you take **1d8** damage (or **2d8** with 💢 Blood Surge)  
 +- You gain **immunity** to your element’s damage type  
 +- You may **pass through terrain** aligned with your element (e.g. fire, ice, wind)  
 +- While active, your Elemental Strike gains **60-foot range** and **ignores cover**
 +
 +---
 +
 +### 💢 Elemental Seal (Control – Active)
 +
 +**Action Load:** 2  
 +> *You seal off, bind, or suppress with elemental force.*
 +
 +Choose a target or object and apply a powerful elemental binding:
 +
 +- Creatures must make a **Resistance Check** or suffer one of the following:
 +  - **Immobilized**, **blinded**, **deafened**, or **muted** (based on element) for 1 round  
 +- Objects may be **sealed shut**, **warped**, or **rendered dangerous**

 +---
 +
 +### 💢 Surge Cascade (Passive – Combo Enhancer)
 +
 +**Action Load:** Variable  
 +> *Your power expands beyond its initial shape, echoing outward.*
 +
 +When you deal damage to **multiple targets** using a Blood Surge, you may spend additional Action Points:
 +
 +- +1 Action Point: **extend the range** by 10 feet  
 +- +1 Action Point: affect **one additional target** outside the original area  
 +- +1 Action Point: add **+1d8 damage** to **each** affected target
 +
 +Stacks with **Chain Reaction**, **Multiply Damage**, and area effects.
 +
 +## Tier 4 Base Card – Incantor Master
 +
 +**You are the storm. You no longer borrow power—you are power.**
 +
 +There is no longer a line between you and your element. You can pull from your body, your mind, or both to unleash devastation on a scale few mortals can comprehend. But every heartbeat you give to your element brings you one breath closer to collapse.
 +
 +---
 +
 +### Core Feature: 💢 Unleashed Blood Surge
 +
 +You may now mark **any number** of HP and/or Stress to empower your elemental attacks.
 +
 +- Each point of **HP** or **Stress** spent adds an additional set of base damage dice  
 +- This stacks with Action Load and Multiply Damage 
 +- These Surges are **additive**, not multiplicative
 +
 +<WRAP notice>
 +For example:  
 +- Elemental Strike = 1d8 base 
 +- Spend +2 Action Load using Multiply Damage = 3d8 total 
 +- Spend 2 HP and 3 Stress = +5 × 3d8 = **+15d8** to add from Blood Surge 
 +- Total: **18d8 damage**
 +
 +</WRAP>
