Flare Beacon (Major)
Activate ◆◆ (manipulate)
Flare beacons create an incredibly bright light for a brief period of time. They are often used to signal others to the beacon's location, to coordinate assaults, to request rescue, or for other similar reasons. Higher-level beacons have a radius so large that they can be seen from miles away at night. When you Activate a flare beacon, you can either place it on the ground in a space within your reach or toss it up to 60 feet straight up.
The beacon then sparks into being, casting bright light in a 180-foot radius and dim light in the next 180 feet for 1 minute. A flare beacon in the air falls at a rate of 10 feet per round. Creatures within a 30-foot emanation of the beacon must succeed at a DC 35 fortitude save or be Dazzled until they are no longer within 30 feet of it. Additionally, on a critical failure, they are also Blinded for 1 round.
