Description
Sunbolt is an uncommon effect which is currently known only to a few members of the Colejio te Sortilejio in Merochas.  This paradigm alters the sunlight striking a target so that the energy of the sun is transformed into an intense golden flame.  The effect is both terrible and effective, but has been kept relatively secret so far.  The Colejio intends this as a weapon of last resort for the defense of Merochas.
The effect isn't useful at night or in periods of intense shade (storm clouds, etc.), and so is a weapon of opportunity as well.
Effects
The transformed energy strikes everything in the area of effect.  Passive resistance does not apply, although physical protections may help.  Active resistance is possible, of course.

Notes
Although the Base Cost is nearly within the limits of the configuration, the requirement to include the Removed Temper Aspect clearly places the spontaneous version (at this Potency) beyond the limits of Sorcery.
