The character can saturate a target with energy so that it bursts from within, spilling blood and body parts around it.
The character need only select a target within 30 feet and expend 3 actions. The target feels a sudden, stabbing pain. The target must make a saving throw of 12 or better, and may add his PE bonus vs poison. If successful, he takes 3D6 damage from swollen cells and bursting skin. If he fails, the damage is done to his Hit points instead as the power has affected more vital cells.
In addition, the target may suffer additional damage along the way. If the damage dealt, plus the character's level exceeds the target's PE score, then the target doubles over in pain from the attack (loses initiative and 2 actions unless immune or resistant to pain). If the damage is done to HP, then use twice the character's level.
The target bleeds heavily, from these wounds. Every time he is afflicted with this power, he starts losing one HP per minute from the open lacerations and may very well bleed to death in short order if affected by multiple uses of this power.
