You could feed the blast the same energy that feeds the storm—take the heat from a blackened forge, the pressure from a sealed crypt, and focus it with a sigil of bound flame. The spell will turn the ordinary detonation into a wave of pure entropy that tears through matter as if it were paper. Just remember: the more power you draw, the more you bind yourself to its chaos.

Sure, a backup is always good. Slip a counter‑sigil into the core—something that siphons excess energy back into a reserve. If the storm overflows, that secondary ring will absorb the surge and redirect it into a containment field, so the gear stays safe and the blast stays under your command.

Sure thing. I'll place the counter‑sigil in the outer rim of the core, just far enough that it won't clash with the main channel. That way the main line stays clean and the reserve quietly handles any overshoot. Let's run the test and watch the energy behave.
