close my eyes and, without moving, attempt to sense any flames within range (500ft) for me to manipulate. no matter the result, open my eyes again and go back to holding still and observing afterwards.
(i dont want to actually do anything yet, but I want to know what options I have.)
is able to manipulate one of the classical elements (water, fire, earth, air) or a common derivative of them (ice, lightning, wood, etc) within 500ft of the avatar's current position.
can only generate a 1-foot sphere of the element, and can only do that up to 5 times within any 24-hour period.
cannot make the element cease to exist, can however reposition it such that it will logically cease to exist when it is no longer being manipulated. (if associated with fire, can put out a burning building by moving the fire into the sky where it has no fuel and then releasing control of it, but cannot put the fire out directly.)
cannot manipulate microscopic amounts of the element (if water, water vapor in the air doesn't count).
cannot manipulate instances of the element within the body of a living creature (if water, water in blood doesn't count, neither do electrical signals in the brain if lightning associated, etc).
does not have a maximum limit on the amount of the element manipulated, but stops being able to manipulate any instances of the element that leave the 500ft radius of the avatar.
cannot be directly harmed by the element, but can be harmed indirectly. (if associated with fire, the fire wont burn the avatar, but the avatar could still be suffocated if the fire consumes all the oxygen in the area.)
EDIT:
also:
Glance around without moving my hiding spot, look for any plants I could use to treat acid burns.
((there's advantages to having knowledge of flora and fauna))
Irine[Mindpower: 1
- 3 + 2] You are too distracted by the scene in front of you to sense any fire.
One of the disadvantages of being an avatar is your empathy to your denizens, and now you have caught its attention, telepathically.
[Luck: 3
- 2 It turns on you instead. Apparently today is Attempt-to-Kill-The-Avatar-Of-Your-Own-Creator-Day.

Change my hand to a claw(Not Alex Mercer, not at all) and maul it.
You change your hand into a claw, using the strongest material you can imagine.
[Strength: 3
- 2 + 2 Equipment + 1 Circumstantial] The tiger releases its bite on your arm, but apparently not fast enough to avoid being stabbed in the sides by your claw.
It falls back.
[Luck: 4
- 4] It lunges at you with great speed.
[Strength: 3
- 2] Knocking you off your feet.
It raises its paw to claw you.
STABITSTABITSTABITSTABITSTABIT
[Strength: 4
- 1 + 2 Sneak] As the slug seems to be distracted by something, you jump into the air and drive your spear deep into its body. It tries to squirm.
[Luck: 3
- 3] As a last resort, the slug squirts acid out of its wound into your hands, and knocks you off its body when you release the grip from your spear.
It advances slowly at you, too heavily wounded by the earlier attack to be able to swing its tentacles vigorously.
