-Name: Flashbang

-User: N/A

-Introduction: The user’s body emits a quick burst of impossibly bright light

'''-Description: Upon activation, the user’s body emits an impossibly bright burst of light, which temporarily blinds anyone within range. Blindness duration depends on the intensity of the flash. The flash also emits some heat, but not enough to deal any kind of damage.'''

-Range: All (depends on the intensity of the flash)

-Type: Conversion

-Purpose: Both offensive and defensive

-Visual Cue: Smoldering body, Light emitted from the user’s body

-Auditive Cue: Same sound an actual flashbang makes

-Tier N: 

1: Body emits a quick burst of light

2: Body can emit multiple flashes in rapid succession

3: Instead of a quick burst of light, the user emits a constant stream of light from their body and gains thermal vision (don’t freak out, I promise there’s a limitation)

4: User can quickly create smaller and more contained flashes of light with their fingers by snapping

'''5: By starting up a flash on both of their palms and clapping just before it detonates, the user can convert the light into a wave of pure thermal energy. The intensity of the heat is determined by the intensity of the flash. A tiny flash will produce little more than a warm gust of wind, while an extreme flash will produce a wave hot enough to melt through solid steel (put down the pitchfork, there’s a limitation for this too).'''

-General Limitations: 
 * The flash itself is instant, but the semblance must first be “activated” in order to prepare the body for the flash. Semblance activation causes a short delay (about 2 seconds). During the delay, the users body will begin to smolder slightly.
 * Semblance must be “reactivated” after every use, with the exception of tier 4
 * People far enough away can negate the semblance’s effect by simply closing their eyes or looking away
 * Sufficient eye protection can negate the effects of all but the most intense of flashes
 * Extremely intense body flashes from tier 1 and 2 tend to tire the user out
 * Too many flashes from tier 2 can dramatically raise the user’s body temperature and cause dehydration. Extreme use of this tier may lead to heat stroke.
 * During flashes from tiers 1 and 2, all of the user’s senses are shut down.
 * While tier 3 is active, the user retains their sense of sight, but their sense of proprioception is heavily impaired. All other senses are lost while this tier is active.
 * Tier 4 is incapable of producing intense flashes
 * Tier 5 is simultaneously the most powerful and most dangerous tier. The user’s semblance grants them minor heat resistance, but not immunity. Using this tier will always cause some degree of pain to their hands (the greater the heat, the higher the pain) and slightly damages the nerves as well. Creating too much heat in a short period of time could potentially render their hands unusable, or simply burn them.

-Applications: N/A

-Dust Interaction: N/A

-Notes: 
 * Flashbang grants the user nigh superhuman vision in all situations (except for during a flash)
 * I feel like I may have overcompensated for how powerful this semblance could potentially be, so feel free to let me know if I need to lighten up on some of the limitations
