2 Charisma:

• Description: Gabriel channels a powerful bolt of lightning toward a single target within 60 feet. The bolt deals 4d10 lightning damage on a hit. However, if Gabriel’s attack roll misses the target’s AC, the lightning energy becomes unstable, arcing wildly in a 30-foot cone in a random direction, hitting all creatures within the cone.
• Damage: 4d10 lightning damage on a hit, or 3d10 lightning damage to all creatures within the 30-foot cone if the attack misses.
• Save for Cone Damage: Each creature in the cone must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 16). On a failed save, they take the full 3d10 lightning damage; on a success, they take half damage.
• Effect: This unpredictable strike makes Gabriel a force of chaotic energy, potentially affecting allies, enemies, and even his environment when his control slips.

Born with an innate connection to storm magic, Gabriel was identified early on by the Celestial Wardens for his unique talents. His upbringing among the elite shaped him into a charismatic and authoritative figure, primed to lead. Rising through the ranks, he demonstrated a powerful control over storm magic but often struggled with the unpredictable nature of his powers. This volatility only added to his reputation as a formidable yet risky figure.

Gabriel is driven by his desire to harness and control his storm powers fully, using them to uphold the Council’s influence and protect his prestigious position. His fear of losing control and harming someone important fuels his ambition to perfect his mastery over his magic.

Gabriel seeks to become renowned beyond Luminaris, aiming to be recognized across lands for his storm magic and influence. He envisions himself as a legendary figure whose power and authority command respect, not only within high society but throughout the world. Gabriel wants his name to be synonymous with strength, control, and the very forces of the storm.
