The burning glass is a legendary weapon, whose record of use is often exaggerated by victims of its burning beam. It was reportedly designed and built by a genius whose name has been lost to time. With little more than glass lenses, mirrors, and light, a burning glass can immolate cities, fleets, and armies. The actual machine is deceptively simple, though modifications have been made over time so that it’s no longer entirely dependent on the sun’s rays. A complex array of mirrors reflect and concentrate the light from an everlight crystal and direct a concentrated beam through a series of focusing lenses. The resulting beam delivers the heat of the sun, blazing through anything in its path. As impressive as the results are, the glass makes a finicky weapon. Its firing angles require precision, and maintaining the mirrors is a constant process, to keep their sheen as unblemished as possible. Repairs require understanding complex mathematics, necessitating a successful DC 30 Engineering Lore check before attempting a Crafting check to Repair (at the same DC).
Aim [two-actions] rotate 45°
Load [one-action] (manipulate) 10 times, requires a successful DC 33 Arcana check or DC 30 Engineering Lore check. If the burning glass is in an area of natural sunlight, it needs to be Loaded only 8 times, a crew member can also attempt a DC 33 Nature check in addition to the other listed skills, and its Launch loses the magical trait.
