These rectangular objects are crystal weaved storage vessels used for storing various energy types. They contain energy for two shots per round, with the cells burning out after 10 uses. A Vortex Cell is typically loaded to the underside of a weapon.
Vortex Cells have a 3% chance per use of exploding, causing damage equal to their stored charge (5 shots left equal 1d6 x5) in a 10' radius (DC15 Reflex for half damage). Vortex Cells are durable and won't normally explode if hurled as a weapon.
