Sunshine [minor] by Iczer

'warm in here? I hardly noticed'

The character can cause the fission of small hydrogen atoms in his vicinity, usually from the air. they react with oxygen to create the equivalent of a tiny star, the size of a softball, illuminating an area 120 feet across with warm, simulated sunshine. Creatures that abhor or react to sunlight treat this as real sunlight.
The Ball is hot. Direct contact causes 6D6 damage, but physical contact is enough to warp and disintegrate this faux sun. The character can attempt to create such a ball of sunlight on or near a target. he makes a strike roll with a -2 to strike, and can only affect targets within 30 feet.
Created suns are short lived, halving their size every melee round as they burn all their available fuel (typically burn out after a minute). They are very real suns though, shedding all manner of EM radiation, distorting communications and delicate electronics. Their masses are infinitesimally small though, hardly enough to be noticed as they collapse into short lived black holes at the end of their cycles.
If the character concentrates (one melee action per round) he can move his created sun up to his ME in feet per round, and extend their lifespan. After a minute, they double in size, turning orange, and double size again a minute later turning red. A minute after that they puff out.
