Light Manipulation

You manipulate light to your advantage.

You produce ambient light within a radius of (4 + Floor(Level/2))
You may focus the light into a laser beam (doing so reduces the radius of your ambient light by 1)
Laser damage increment: (Level based)
Laser penetration bonus: ((Level - 1) / 2 + 4)
Ambient light radius increases by 1 every 15 rounds until it reaches its maximum value
(10 + 3 * Level)% chance to reflect light-based damage

Advantages

  • Never misses and has infinite range.
  • Provides light in a small radius without taking up an equipment slot, as other Light Sources do.
  • Decent early-game damage and PV which scales with level.

Disadvantages

  • It is difficult to use Light Manipulation as both a weapon and a light source at the same time.
  • There is no way to decrease the time it takes to regenerate a charge.
  • Cannot fire through Force Field(favilink error!).
  • PV and damage scale poorly in the late game unless the mutation is leveled to 20-25 through ego modifier.
