Anyone know the duration on this ability? I'll assume that since it's unstated it's set to a "default," but I don't know what that default is.
Blinding Blaze (Su) A mythic fire elemental can expend one use of mythic power as a swift action to burn brightly, granting it a blinding gaze attack. This gaze causes permanent blindness and has a range of 60 feet. A creature that succeeds at a DC 22 Fortitude save is instead dazzled for 1 round. Fire elementals are immune to this blindness. The save DC is Constitution-based.

I assume Brogue is capable of reading and wants to know how long the fire elemental has the gaze attack, Bob Bob Bob.
It seems like one use per mythic power as written, but the intent could have been different.
Yes, in case I wasn't clear (sorry about that, I wrote the post a little too quickly after writing the title, perhaps), I'm curious about the BLinding Blaze/Blinding Gaze ability.
There are a few ways it could be interpreted, I suppose.
An indeterminate duration of which I have no idea.
A single round.
Or a single gaze attack (such as when a creature actively uses its gaze attack).
The third seems the most likely from reading the ability, but at the same time...that's not a very typical usage of gaze attacks, and I'm a little surprised to see it.
So all in all I'm a bit flummoxed. I'd just love to blind my entire party (or at least, those not clever enough to close their eyes, but, quite frankly, this ability will always be passed up in favor of the Mythic Fire Elemental's ability to remove its cold vulnerability and ignore fire resistance, and that's a little sad, from my sinister point of view.
So clarification and ideas would be lovely. :)
