Through a one-hour rite that draws a thread of stellar core directly through the Rift, you collapse a fragment of a sun onto a region you have surveyed. At the conclusion of the ritual, an area up to one mile in radius is rendered uninhabitable. Every structure within the radius is reduced to slag and ash; every unshielded creature is killed outright. The site emits lethal radiant Rift Energy for years afterward — no Tier IV or lower shielding survives prolonged exposure, and even Tier V shielding degrades within months. This channel is plot-grade: its use leaves a permanent geographic and political scar, and is almost always answered.
