Energy Scaling [minor] by Iczer

The character can affect incoming and outgoing energy attacks. At will the character can tune a source of energy upwards or downwards by 1D6 per level, adding or subtracting the damage as necessary. Energy sources to be affected must be within 40 feet of the character, though the energy only has to pass through that area.
Energy attacks that inflict more than just damage (Tasers, blinding light, the heat of the desert) grant the character a +1 to relevant saving throws per level.
The character can be indiscriminate or very selective with this power. He could downtune all an enemy's energy weapons while amping up the ferocity of his flamethrower, or he could make a fire wall somewhat less intimidating while his allies continue firing with enhanced blasters at an approaching juggernaut.
