The mystic creates a free form composition of distortion.

The mystic declares the intent to start composing and chooses an element of their composition.
At the end of the round, they may release it or continue composing.

If it is released, all effects in the composition apply at once.
If they continue, they take 1d2 corruption and make a Resolute check.
On success, they may choose a new element, rolling any necessary dice to determine the effect to come.
On failure, the composition bursts, violently applying to the entire area and everyone in it.
If the composition contained 3 or more elements, the area destabilizes.
