The Burgomaster’s Last Festival

Depicted moment

Carver’s pistol-fired metal glob is the visual expression of heat metal. The amber trail and localized glow are artistic spell staging in the selected original version. Vargas falls under the spell’s heat; the image does not establish a separate gunshot wound, new ammunition mechanics, or destroyed armor. His breastplate remains intact for Rage’s later recovery. The exact armor decoration and staging are interpretive. See Session 31.

Canonical status

Session illustration based on the table record. Existing character references establish identity; incidental costume, weather effects, props, and architecture do not establish new lore or mechanical abilities.

Carver aims his pistol as an amber spell trail reaches Vargas’s breastplate and the burgomaster collapses to his knees in the rain.
