You cannot stack multiple Fire Shields on the same target, however the shield can be improved by another ally using the same power. Can also be used in conjunction with your Plasma Shield. You cannot use this power on yourself.

Heat Exhaustion
Overwhelm a single foe with waves of exhausting heat. The initial effect will drain the target of some Endurance, but the heat is so overwhelming that the affected target will be weakened. His Damage output, Endurance Recovery and Hit Point Regeneration will all be reduced.
Melt Armor
The searing Heat from this power is enough to Melt the Armor and defenses of all targets in the affected area. Melt Armor significantly weakens the Defense and Damage Resistance of the affected targets.
Plasma Shield
Envelope an ally in pure plasma. The Plasma Shield gives your ally resistance to Energy, Negative Energy, and Fire damage. You cannot stack multiple Plasma Shields on the same target, however the shield can be improved by another ally using the same power. Can also be used in conjunction with your Fire Shield. You cannot use this power on yourself.
Power of the Phoenix
Revives a fallen ally. The fiery resurrection blasts nearby foes with an explosion and knocks them down and Disorients them. Your ally will revive with most of his Hit Points and Endurance. He will also be invulnerable for a brief time, as well as protected from XPDebt for 90 seconds.
Thaw
Warms an ally and frees him from any Disorient, Hold, Sleep, Slow, Fear, Confusion, and Immobilize effects and leaves them resistant to such effects for a good while. Thaw also grants the target some resistance to Cold damage. Some of the effects of this power will improve with Multiple applications and as you advance in level.
Warmth
You can use your Warmth to heal some of your wounds, and the wounds of your group. This power has a small radius, so your allies need to be near you if they wish to be affected.
