Meteor Strike

DefectAttackRare
Deal 24 damage.
Channel 3 Plasma.

Five Energy for 24 damage (30 upgraded), then three Plasma orbs are channeled one at a time; each one that finds no free slot Evokes your leftmost orb first. Plasma gives 1 Energy at the start of your turn and 2 when Evoked, so three of them refund 3 Energy every turn they stay, and Evoking all three pays 6.
