Special Modes
- Overcharge Discharge 2 slot
As part of the Attack action, you can channel Rift energy into the plasma well. The shot deals an additional 2d10 plasma damage on a hit and ignores resistance to plasma damage. After firing, the weapon cannot be fired at all for 1 minute and glows with a visible thermal bloom for that time.

- powered-armor-required
A shoulder-braced plasma projector: a magnetic containment bottle, a primary capacitor bank and an aperture vent the diameter of a dinner plate. You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. The capacitor stack rebuilt to a matched set and the timing loop tightened, which stops the first shot of a burst arriving weaker than the rest.
