CINDER

OVERVIEW

• Darkens the edges of markings to create a burned texture. This can also be a dark gradient. The very edge of the marking has a slight glow to it. The shape of this resembles paper that is smoldering. If it is not affecting a marking, it can lay over top of markings making the Drakiri appear like parts of them are burning away. Cinder can also effect the flesh, horns and hooves, making them black with a gradient that resembles an inner glow like cooling molten metal. The marking can have sparks. They are solid with a glow effect, but can only appear close to the areas effected by Cinder like the example above. Cinder can also add a fiery gradient to the tips of the horns and hooves.
