Power: 2 | Speed: 4 | Rarity: Common | World Region: The Sunbeam Ridges
Origins: Beam Hawk is the Speed specialist of Light's Common tier – 2/4, fast and luminous, a bird that has evolved specifically for operation in the brightest zones of the affinity's territory. The Sunbeam Ridges concentrate light to intensities most cards aren't adapted to fight through, and Beam Hawk uses that brightness as a weapon alongside its Speed. It doesn't announce its approach. The light does that.
Finishing Move: Beam Strike: Dives from the Sunbeam Ridges carrying a concentrated light beam – the strike is light and impact simultaneously, with a brightness that temporarily reduces the target's response capacity.
Synergy & Rivalry: The Speed contribution in Light Commons. Air's Cliff Guide has similar elevation-to-velocity attack mechanics, and they have developed a professional relationship based on trading notes about altitude-based attack optimisation.
