Zen Mortar

Zen Mortar is a Power for Nina. It fires directly up into the air before falling back down and exploding. Using the Power again while the projectile is still in midair will split the projectile in two, both moving perpendicular to the main projectile's direction.

Power Fusions
Zen Mortar's fusion effect, Echo, gives a majority of the weapons it is fused with a secondary function when the button is pressed a second time. Any weapons that might not have such a function will still have a fire motif to them.
