Supernova is a novice pyrokinetic skill in Divinity: Original Sin II.
Description[]
Skill[]
Supernova is a offensive pyrokinetic skill that allows character to release a fiery explosion around themselves in 4 meter radius. The wave of fire is blocked by obstacles and deals fire damage to all targets, including the caster, and ignites all susceptible surfaces as well as de-frosts all frozen surfaces. Characters without 
Magic Armour will be afflicted with 
Burning status effect for 2 turns and suffer damage directly to their health. Due to this skill dealing area of effect damage around the caster it will reveal all hostile characters under 
Invisible status effect.
Since relies on Pyrokinesis magic it cannot be cast if character is affected by 
Silenced status effect. Supernova skill is reflected back when the target is under Deflective Barrier skill (Definitive Edition only).
Scroll and Skillbook[]
Supernova skillbook is a magical item that allows its reader to learn Supernova skill, if they have at least 2 points into Pyrokinetic ability, and use it indefinitely. In order to be able to cast the skill, character needs 1 free memory slot. Note that the book will disappear once read. The book weights 0.5 and its base value is 190 gold. A skillbook can be crafted if a Supernova scroll is combined with a Blank Fire Skillbook. Since Supernova is a novice Pyrokinetic skill, traders will start selling the skillbook once Godwoken reach level 4.
Supernova scroll is a magical item that allows any character to cast Supernova skill, regardless of skill prerequisites, but only once. The only limiting element in casting Supernova this way is the amount of 
Action Points (AP) character has at their disposal in current turn. The scroll is craftable, weights 0.02 and has base value of 100 gold.
The cost of Action Points between Supernova scroll and Supernova skill themselves remains the same. Both the scroll and the skill itself are affected by other skills, attributes and talents that may provide additional bonuses.
Skill Modifiers[]
Damage of this skill is calculated with the following formula: (Base Damage) x (1 + Elemental Bonus%) x (1 + Attribute Bonus% + Weapon Skill Bonus %) x (1 + High Ground Bonus% + Crit Bonus%) x ( 1 + Misc Bonus %)
The damage of this skill is affected by the following attributes of the caster:
- Level
- Pyrokinetic ability
- Intelligence attribute
- Critical Damage Modifier
Out of these the most effect on the damage have Level and then Pyrokinetic ability as the latter increases damage by 5 % per point. Level provides greatest boost to the damage done. Intelligence provides the lowest bonus out of the three (3 points in Intelligence are equal to 1 point of Pyrokinetic).
When it comes to enemies they may resist fire damage if they have: Fire Immunity Status and high enough 
Fire Resistance (which lowers fire damage done).
Supernova properties can be affected by talents, consumable items (some of which may be affected by Five-Star Diner talent) and other skills.
