The myth

Breath of the Solar Furnace is a spell MYTHENOR created. It rests on the centrality of the sun in Egyptian religion. Egyptians saw the sun change over the day: according to World History Encyclopedia, Ra was Ra-Horakhty in the morning, Amun-Ra at noon and Atum in the evening. The noon sun was the highest and strongest. Moreover, the Eye of Ra could become the fierce Sekhmet, destroyer of the sun's enemies. The desert beneath that sun was, in truth, a furnace for anyone who crossed it.

Why it has this power

A common direct-damage spell: it takes 600 points of breath from the opponent, bypassing monsters and attack traps. It is the noon heat that reaches everyone. Useful for closing out a duel when the rival is almost out of breath.

Did you know

In the triad of sun forms cited by World History Encyclopedia, the noon sun was identified with Amun-Ra.
