Sniper

Applies 1 Bead to what it hits. Damage rises with the distance travelled, to a stated ceiling at a published distance. A Bead decays if that enemy goes unhit for a stated window.

Increases your damage substantially against enemies that attack from range, and every Bead you apply to them lands as 2 instead of 1. Any spell that applies a Bead counts.

Costs 1 Bead on the shooter to destroy its projectile mid-flight, or 2 Beads to send that projectile back along its own path.

Costs 0–3 Beads from your highest-Bead enemy. Creates a zone that shoots anything entering: 2 shots plus 1 per Bead spent. Each shot applies 1 Bead; every second hit grants 1. 2 zones party-wide.

Consumes all 5 Beads from the marked target. Locks your aim and holds you in place, then fires a guaranteed critical with penetration that ignores cover, scaled by distance travelled.

Creates a firing position. Holding it narrows your spread to a stated cone and improves range and reload speed, each to a stated ceiling. Taking damage decays the ramp. Beads do not decay inside.

Costs 2 Beads from your highest-Bead enemy. A fast roll to a new firing position that applies knockback at contact range as you leave, carrying the Nest ramp intact. Once per nest.
