Plasma oozes pose a significant menace to seasoned spacefarers within the Pact Worlds. These entities materialize as expansive networks of crackling electromagnetic energy, assuming a captivating spherical form pulsating with luminous hues of purple and blue, with searing white-hot bursts scattered throughout.
These oozes primarily lurk near the surface of stars but are also drawn to potent electromagnetic phenomena elsewhere in the Universe. The electromagnetic fields exuded by the ooze present dangers in space, potentially even incapacitating shielded starships. Armed scions connected to the Plane of Fire, known as the Sunkillers, claim to actively hunt these enigmatic beings, armed with specialized gear and sonic weaponry.

Electromagnetic Field (
aura) 100 feet. When an item with the
tech trait is activated inside the aura, it must succeed at a DC
36 Reflex save or become
glitching 1 (glitching 2 on a critical failure). A tech creature that starts its turn within the aura must attempt a DC
35 Will save. If it fails, it becomes glitching 1 (glitching 2 on a critical failure). An item or creature that succeeds at this save becomes immune to this aura for 1 hour.

Plasma Drain
[two-actions]
Frequency once per day;
Effect each creature and wielded object with the
tech trait within 100 feet of the plasma ooze must attempt a DC
36 Fortitude save. For each target that fails this save, the ooze regains 15 Hit Points and the object loses half of its remaining charges (if battery-powered).
Plasma Slag
A creature damaged by the ooze's pseudopod must succeed at a DC
36 Fortitude save or be
slowed 1 (slowed 2 on a critical failure). A creature with the
tech trait uses the outcome one degree of success worse than the result of its roll.
