Let's run through the checklist. I'll just make up answers for now but obviously you can change these if you want and change the description accordingly.
• How powerful is it? Does it have a wide area of effect, or multiple projectiles? How big is the weapon? What size are the projectiles? It's small and fast so we assume it's pretty weak
• Is it instantaneous, or quick to use? Or is it slow? Smallish and pretty basic, pretty quick to use
• Is it difficult to aim? Must it be aimed at all? Like a normal thrown object.
• Can the user move around or do other things while using the move, or must they be stationary? Like a normal thrown object, so he can still move around
• Does the user have to keep their focus on the move, or is it 'fire and forget'? fire and forget like a normal thrown object
• Does it have effects that linger after the user is no longer performing the move? If so, how long do they last? no so n/a
• What does it look like? How is it performed? How does it feel to get hit with it? fireball, let's say around the size of a soccer ball? Formed in the hands, thrown like a ball?
• Is the move variable, or does it have a fixed method of use? we can do either
Try this:
Fireball (300 OM)
"Ben can form a fireball in his hand roughly a foot in diameter that, when thrown, creates a small (only big enough to damage the person it hits) explosion upon impacting an object. It takes only a moment to materialise and it moves as fast as any other thrown object, allowing Ben to fire them fairly rapidly. "
Optional addons to the description:
(additional 300 OM)
"Ben can create a single fireball, or up to ten fireballs at a time before throwing them. These extra fireballs appear around Ben and move at the same time and in the same direction as his hand-thrown fireball. Doing this takes an extra second or up to five seconds for all ten fireballs, and requires Ben to be stationary unlike creating a single fireball."
Get what I mean now? It includes a bunch of the things from that checklist that were glossed over before and gives a better impression of how big the fireball is, how fast it moves etc.
How's that description? Is that how you envisioned the attack? You can use that description or adjust it if you want.
