Lunar Beam
*Spoilers!*
Read Scarlet Warfare first
Lunar Beam is an upgraded lunar magic spell from the Lunar Burst skill. Lunar Burst is a 3-round burst of concentrated lunar energy as a destructive power. Lunar Beam takes all of the energy from Lunar Burst and combines it together in a single focused beam of power that can be sustained for about two seconds, inflicting more damage than the predecessor spell. This narrow but powerful bright blue beam is constantly controlled through aiming by its wielder, which increases general accuracy significantly. It is possible to expend this energy using a lunar crystal, though less likley since most crystals would have trouble storing the amount of energy needed to generate a beam of lunar magic.

By its design, lunar magic does not need to be used under the confines of a veil; it can exist anywhere in the world and deplete from a person's charged ME levels. However, without the ability to recharge depleted ME points, using magic is ill-advised, since the condition would trigger intrusive rejection. But as with proven documentation of ancient trials from mages who studied lunar magic, the format of magic while possible is considered too dangerous for the user to conduct or test. In theory, anyone with high enough ME points can technically invoke Lunar Beam or other lunar magic spells. But in doing so, they severely risk their life in the process since the overdraw of intense magic easily overloads or damages magical circuits, which in turn inhibits or disrupts important neuron-electric processes, while also damaging structural DNA/RNA over time. The use of lunar magic is always fatal to the user, either causing a long term death inflicted most commonly with cancer, or instantly on the spot from critical organ failure. Alternatively, it may be possible to affect the mind of the user as well, in a condition known as lunar madness.
Effect
Attack Form: Concentrated Lunar Energy Beam
Attack Type: Lunar Magic Damage
Glyphring: False
Attack Type: Lunar Magic Damage
Glyphring: False
Side/Secondary Effects
The use of all lunar magic has life-shortening effects on the body, or fatal consequences to the mind and body for anyone who does not have lunastasis. For the target, real time damage will occurr.
Manifestation
The wielder does not need a lot of time to charge up the required MP/ME to invoke Lunar Beam. Once the hand begins glowing with a strong cyan blue effect, the wielder aims and launches the 5-inch energy beam in a concentrated form, gradually depleting itself in about 2 seconds or less. This energy beam uses pure lunar magic, which as a force is far superior compared to all other spells regardless of the attack form that is used. Therefore, lunar magic such as this spell will without fail inflict real time damage to other people including other creatures/summons. The lunar magic spheres can also easily destroy or damage all objects that are supposed to be protected by the Leray veil through protective item synthesis. The cause for this is also linked to the effect this has on other people's personal/magical auras, since the lunar magic is strong enough to disrupt or break the link that target wielder has between their magical circuits and the alternate veil that is giving them their own powers, separate from their potential lunar magic source. In effect, this ability can theoretically disrupt or disable the magic abilities of the person hit by this spell, aside from taking serious wounds and other real time damage. Unlike dark magic, lunar magic needs no particular emotion to function, nor does it require a veil.
Source
Compressed Personal MP
Average MP usage: ?%
The MP usage will vary because unlike most spells, this ability consumes a fixed number of ME points, so as Maximum ME goes up, MP usage will go down.

Discovery

Read Scarlet Warfare first
In the Scarlet Warfare series, Jane Venn refined her Lunar Burst ability into a more powerful beam with the support of the lunastasis symbol, installed by the E-7 Mark 64 spell bomb prototype. Jane Venn is the only genetically modified human being who can invoke lunar magic such as Lunar Beam without suffering from the fatal consequences that all other mages would for invoking lunar magic. Her magical circuits were genetically altered so that lunar magic could safely pass through while the ME levels were reconfigured to a higher state gradually over time rather than suddenly, causing past experiments on test subjects to lead to instant death.

Magic Format: Lunar Magic
Material Components
Lunar Crystals can be used to achieve this effect when ME requirements are not met by the wielder, which is most often the case for wielders who have less experience in using magic, or for civilian type people whose average ME levels range between 5-15 points. Using these crystals does not make lunar magic usage safer.
Gestures & Ritual
Connecting the personal aura to the lunar magic signature when used to Leray/dark magic is not an easy task. One must somehow identify the conceptual powers of the moonlight as an energy source and be capable of feeling the sensation without the assistance of magic before attempting successful practice.
