Solar Flare

The Solar Flare is an ability performed by Hero Smurf in the HERO: The Guardian Smurf story series. Its performed by Hero placing his hands close to the center of his face with the fingers spread toward his eyes. He then calls out the name of the technique, which provokes a white light to fire out and blind everything watching except him, since he's projecting the light. This technique is defensive rather than offensive, and is mainly used as way to gain the upper hand, or in order to make hasty retreat, or to set up for a more complicated attack without fear of interruption.
