These rectangular objects are crystal-woven storage vessels utilized for preserving diverse energy types. They possess the capacity to store energy for two shots per round, with the cells expiring after 10 uses. A Vortex Cell is customarily loaded to the underside of a weapon.
Vortex Cells possess a 3% chance of detonating per usage, resulting in damage equivalent to their stored charge (remaining 5 shots equating to 1d6 x 5) within a 10-foot radius (DC15 Reflex save for half damage). Furthermore, Vortex Cells are resilient and typically do not explode when employed as projectile weapons.
