Editing Behemoth (section)

===Fire and Heat===
Behemoth can turn any target who comes within a 200-foot radius<ref>Behemoth can turn people to cinders if they’re within two hundred feet of him, Leviathan has sunk or leveled ''major landmasses''. - [[Migration 17.5]]</ref><ref>'''randomsoul2:''' Idle question about something from earlier in the story…During Migration, Jess says that Behemoth “turns people to cinders if they’re within 200 feet”. Blasto later mentions that Behemoth can ignore the Manton effect at 32 feet. Is there a distinction between the turning-to-cinders and Behemoth’s point-and-click death ray?<br/><br/>'''Wildbow:''' Yep. - Comment by Wildbow on [[Interlude 19.y]]</ref> of him into cinders by unleashing a wave or stream of flame from his hands.<ref>Behemoth unleashed a rolling tide of flame, and the remaining twenty-eight Yàngbǎn fled, using a combination of enhanced speed and flight.  The remains of the dead member were left behind. - [[Drone 23.5]]</ref><ref>Imp screamed again as he directed another wave of flame her way.  It was a scream of pain this time.<br/><br/>Foil shot him, but he didn’t turn away from Imp and the Yàngbǎn member.  Instead, one hand stretched out, casting flame towards her.  The cloth goats blocked it, and were promptly set aflame.  He maintained two columns of flame from his hands, one directed at Imp, one at Foil and Parian. - [[Crushed 24.4]]</ref> He can use dynakinesis to fuel flames, make them more intense, and manipulate their spread in an intelligent manner.<ref>Fire roared around Behemoth as he got away from the area that had already been scorched and blasted clear of any fuel sources.  His dynakinesis fueled the flames, driving them to burn hotter, larger, and with more intensity.  With a kind of intelligence, the fires spread to nearby buildings, ensuring that no place was safe, nor untouched.<br/><br/>I could see the blaze making its way closer to us.  Not a concern in the next minute, maybe not even the next ''five'', but we’d have to move soonish. - [[Crushed 24.1]]</ref><ref>A blast of flame caught the defending capes off guard.  Their forcefields and walls of stone blocked the flame from reaching the capes, but did nothing to stop it from spreading as it set fire to nearby buildings, grass and the stumps of trees that had been freshly cut, if the sawdust was any indication.<br/><br/>As if alive, the fires reached forward, extended to nearby flammable surfaces, and cut off a formation. - [[Crushed 24.2]]</ref><ref>Behemoth had stopped his endless roaring.  He was using fire, now.  There was none of the uncanny precision the lightning had, but the fire moved with intelligence, spread easily, burned hotter than it should have, and it was virtually impossible to stop all of it.  It slipped between force fields, between the fingers of Golem’s stone hands, and it ignited any fabric and wood it touched, set grass alight. - [[Crushed 24.3]]</ref> However, it is possible to catch and redirect his flame with enough opposing pyrokinetics.<ref>He changed tacks, throwing flame, and a team composed entirely of pyrokinetics caught and redirected it with a concerted effort. - [[Crushed 24.5]]</ref>

To strike targets at a distance, Behemoth can superheat debris into lumps of magma to hurl as projectiles.<ref>The glowing projectile swiftly grew in his perspective, giving him only a second to brace himself before it crashed down on the wall of forcefields.<br/><br/>The wave of heat was intense, even on the other side of the barrier.  It seemed almost liquid as it spilled out over the edges.  In seconds, they were surrounded in flame.  The forcefields sealed it off, prevented superheated air from burning them alive, but the viscosity meant it was resting against the forcefield.<br/><br/>''Magma''?<br/>[...]<br/>Another sphere was already in the air, aimed close to them, if not at the exact same spot.<br/><br/>Without even thinking about it, he trained a laser on it.  Others were doing the same, or following suit.  The glob of magma, still mid-air, was separated into loose pieces, no longer as aerodynamic as it had been.  It expanded, fell short, disappeared into the cityscape between them and Behemoth.<br/>[...]<br/>The Yàngbǎn passed through the worst of the smoke, into the blasted, shattered ruins of the city.  In the moment they joined the fight, Cody held back.<br/><br/>They sensed he was gone, but they couldn’t disengage, not as Behemoth gathered up a ruined section of building and melted it down, hurled massive globs of melted plastic, metal and stone at them. - [[Interlude 23]]</ref><ref>In the distance, a glowing orange sphere flew into the sky.  It reached a peak, then descended, crashing into the distant skyline.<br/><br/>I reoriented myself and flew up to the edge of the roof to peek at the battle.  Behemoth had melted down part of the metal arm and fashioned the melted metal into a superheated lump.  A second lump, cooler and not yet fabricated into an aerodynamic shape, was sitting beside him.  Alexandria tried to strike it away, but he caught it with one claw.  He superheated it, shielding it from Legend and Eidolon’s fire with his body, then heaved it into the air.  The projectile flared intensely as it left his kill range, following nearly the same path as before.<br/><br/>Lasers from capes in the distance sliced the second sphere into shreds before it could strike its intended target. - [[Crushed 24.2]]</ref> He can also create waves of heated wind capable of blasting small drones out of the air.<ref>He gave up on the lightning and blasted the drones out of the air with a wave of heated wind. - [[Drone 23.5]]</ref>

Behemoth can generate explosions in mid-air to redirect falls and build momentum for movement.<ref>Behemoth slammed his claw into the glowing hero, and the shockwave tore him free of Scion’s grip.  Scion followed him with a glowing sphere of light, and Behemoth redirected his fall, generating an explosion in mid-air, hurling himself towards the assembled crowd.<br/><br/>Eidolon stopped him with a violet forcefield that spread across the sky, a solid obstacle to arrest Behemoth’s momentum, stopping him dead in his tracks and leaving him suspended a hundred feet up in the air.  His one intact claw clutched the edge. - [[Interlude 24.x]]</ref> If given enough time, he can also manipulate nearby volcanos.<ref>If he was massing his strength for one good retaliatory hit, how would he do it?<br/><br/>Volcanos?  Earthquake? - [[Crushed 24.5]]</ref><ref>'''Wildbow:''' Hawaii's gone. Volcanos + Behemoth = bad times. - Comment by Wildbow on Discord, archived [https://spacebattles.com/posts/44301909 on Spacebattles]</ref>
