Yes, its sort of like the 'special effect' from Champions. An energy blast is an energy blast, but what makes it neat and interesting is HOW it happens.

I can see a Shargashi or Lodrili invoking a combat healing feat that works like that. What with the Hedkoranth chucking crackling lumps of
flint they pull out of nowhere, I've always been in the mood to be flexible.

Its heroic fantasy, and I'm willing to let the player's colour things so that both the players and the GM is happy.
