Ember
Ember describes retained heat, slow combustion, and materials that continue releasing energy after open flame has passed.
Favorable in sanctioned battle Fire about +15% damage → A damaging Ember technique receives the favorable matchup once when the target carries the listed Current.
Resisted in sanctioned battle Ice about −15% damage → A damaging Ember technique receives the resisted matchup once when the target carries the listed Current.
Native technique about +5% damage If a creature naturally carries Ember, its damaging Ember techniques receive a separate native-attunement benefit.
If a hit would otherwise deal 100 damage, a favorable matchup makes it roughly 115 and a resisted matchup makes it roughly 85. Attack, Defense, guarding, conditions, critical hits, and battle variance still affect the final number.
