What it doesRead from the engine's own effect table.

Effect	Value	What it does
Damage	5	Attack the enemy for this much, after Wrath, Chill and Shatter are applied and before its Guard absorbs.
Sear	2	Add value × cards played this turn as Ember on the enemy (scaling Ember loader)
Hone	1	Add value to this turn's pending Hone; at END of turn it becomes permanent Edge only if you played ≤2 cards (a 3rd play forfeits it all)
Chill	1	The unit's next N attacks each deal HALF, consumed 1/attack.

🔥 Ember: Deals that much damage at the end of each turn. Does NOT decay — it burns until the target dies.
🗡️ Hone: At turn's end, gain that much Edge — but only if you played 2 or fewer cards this turn. A third card forfeits all of it. Some foes dull your blade and cut what you bank, which is why the card says "up to".
❄️ Chill: This unit's next attack deals HALF — one stack is spent per attack.
