Special attacks!

I’m having fun adding all the avatar special attack moves to Magic Stones. Since there are about 45 different avatars (including the neutral ones) and almost everyone has a unique special attack, this will take some time 🙂
So far I’ve added Draconian defence, Succubus life steal, and some more Fire Avatar special attacks. Read below a complete description of fire avatars and their special powers:

Draconian– This race is often used in Aravorn’s affairs, since they are tireless, extremely resilient creatures (gifted with a thick natural armor). They are skillful in both offense and defense, have good technique in their use of weapons, and are fairly fast.
Reach: can do only melee attacks
Special move(Defend): increases avatar’s defence value by 2 points for 3 turns.

Succubus – These creatures are half-woman, half-demon, of great beauty but also singular wickedness, which makes them an adversary not to be underestimated. They are very fragile and weak in defense, but their ferocity and speed makes their attacks frightening and effective. An old legend says “never turn your back on a Succubus”.
Reach: can do only melee attacks
Special move(Vampiric Bite): transfers 2-5 hit points from target to the succubus. The amount of hp the succubus gains that way can’t exceed her maximum HP (15).

Firemaster – Firemasters are magicians who have renounced traditional fire magic, since it has diminished so much compared to its original ferocity. They have studied in the most remote libraries in the kingdom, and are always in search of new runes and magical artifacts to increase fire’s destructive power. Gifted with excellent offensive abilities, they use their magic to empower their allies.
Reach: can do both melee and ranged attacks
Special move(Fire Attack): selected friendly avatar gains a fire damage bonus of 1-3 points

Hell Hounds – Hell hounds are ferocious creatures that inhabit the hottest and most wicked lands of Aravorn, the so-called Fiery Plains. About the size of a horse, they are trained from early on to keep going at the victim until they are destroyed. They are gifted with powerful muscles and the sharpest of teeth, capable of breaking up armors and shields forged with the most resistant metals.
Reach: can do only melee attacks
Special move(Fire Breath): Hits a single melee target with fire attack for 3-5 damage. Target can’t counter-attack.

Fire Drake– These fire dragons are enormous beasts, gifted not only with extraordinary strength, but also an uncommon intelligence. Able to charge at entire armies, these marvelous creatures have always been feared by all inhabitants of Aravorn. Fortunately, they have reduced greatly in numbers because they have been ruthlessly hunted, especially for their eggs, which are in greatly sought after by nobles everywhere.
Reach: can do both melee and ranged attacks
Special move(Fireball): Hits all enemy targets with fire-based attack for 5-10 damage which can be resisted (doing no damage)
