Finishing Move: The "Brand-Mark" – Sears a lasting mark into a target that increases the damage of the next Fire card played.
Origins: Scorchtek is an armored raccoon character stationed at the Foundry's inspection line, tasked with branding faulty components before they're recycled. It is a Reliable set-up card, less about immediate damage and more about making the rest of a Fire hand hit harder.
Synergy & Rivalry: Marks feed directly into Lightning "Electrix" follow-ups. Its brands are erased by Ice "Coldspark."
