The character can create a metal destroying vortex from the point on which he stands and expanding outwards.
By expending 4 actions, the character creates a zone 30 feet across in which all metal items corrode and breakdown, losing 1 AR and taking 6D6 damage.
By expending 2 actions each subsequent round, the zone expands 30 feet in all directions.

No metal is safe. this power attacks on a molecular level, and it corrodes lead just as fast as iron. Complete shielding is effective, though. The paint on your car will not save it, though the metal girders inside concrete supports will be safe. Incidentally, this same features keeps the iron in your blood safe.

The character can also expend 2 actions to concentrate this power on a target in an affected area. That target takes the danmage and AR reduction an additional time.

Maintaining this power requires the normal 2 actions to do so as mentioned above. the character's Spd is reduced to a mere 1/5th normal while doing so.

The power's maximum range is 300 feet.

Metal weapions and objects quickly become useless. Bullets fired into the area from outside inflict half damage. Bullets already in the area inflict no damage.
