I see your new post. What's a contingency reaction? Is it a prestige class feature? I presume you don't mean 'readied action' since you don't have a standard action left (after the searing light) to ready an action. If it's a special ability (a prestige class feature or something) more context would be awesome. I just did a CTLR+F in the character sheet thread but neither 'contingency' or 'reaction' appeared.
