Balefire is a lost talent of extraordinary destructive power. There is only a single weave in the Balefire Talent, but it is enough to grand the channeler enermous-and enormously dangerous-power
Balefire:
[Air, Earth,Fire, Spirit,Water] (Lost)
Level: 5
Casting Time: 1 action
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Dexterity
You point your finger, and a pencil-thin beam of white-hot light, so bright that it makes the sun seem dark, leaps instantly forth. the balefire slices neatly and hotly through any material or object out to it's maximum range or until it strikes a living creature. Acreature struck by this beam is utterly destroyed, vanishing in a haze of motes.
Balefire doesn't just destroy its target instantly-it actually destroys it back through time, as the creatures thread is litterally burned out of the pattern of time. The "backburn" given on the table belov indicates how far back in time the creature is destroyed. Everything the creature did over that period of time , and everything that resultet from that creatures's action, is undone, leaving only the memories of those who witnessed the target's actions. For instance, if a Trolloc were hit with balefire a few seconds after killing an armsman, not only would the Trolloc be killed, but the armsman's wounds would disappear.Because of this effect, thich is extremely damaging to the pattern, balefire is seen as so dangerous that the Aes Sedai consider it criminal to even learn how to use it.
