Ephemera Ideas: Crushing Step, and Slpashing Step (+ others)

Crushing Step: Assert your power by stepping with such force the very ground beneath your feet gives way, leaving a trail of rubble in your wake.

This ephemera shouldn't just leave crack decals in the ground like slam attacks, but actually uplift the ground some at the edges. this would actually be a nice effect to also add to slams too, but for an ephemera I think it's an important detail because just cracks would be a bit too plain. Would probably be a tad difficult to implement but look great if the upturned rubble actually took the texture of the surface it was on to look more believable.

Would be a great ephemera for Atlas, Rhino, and Grendel in particular. but could also look pretty good with a number of other heavy frames.

Splashing Step: The ground bends to your presence, splashing and rippling at your step as if it were fluid.

Clearly mostly just for Hydroid but I think this could work nicely for Titania as well. I'm sure there are some other frames it would work with

These two ephemera ideas I think are distinctly different from existing ones, as they're visually effects the warframe has on their environment more so than something that seems to be emitted from the warframe like existing ones.


Bonus:
Explosive Step: Intimidate your foes by detonating the ground beneath your feet. could work with a lot of frames really, I like the idea of this on Gauss particularly
Shattering step: The ground shatters like glass as you walk, the fragments glimmering as they lift weightlessly into the air. Purely for Gara but would be super pretty

These two are a bit too similar to crushing step to give a whole spotlight but I felt were also worth mentioning.
