Mind Fire

Mind fire [Minor] by Iczer

'I like an opponent who uses his mind... it makes them such a better target'

The character can inflict real damage on a target by causing their mind to act as a bomb. The target of this attack literally burns himself up as his neurons are scavenged to produce ignition.

By expending 3 actions, the character may force a target within 50 feet (+10 feet per level) to make a saving throw (16+ ME bonuses apply) Or take 2d6 damage as their thoughts literally explode from them. Worse, the target takes additional damage from the strength of their own mind. The character chooses a mental attribute (IQ, ME or MA). Half of this score (round down) is added to the damage inflicted, and the target loses 1d6 from the selected attribute. The character's head and face erupt in heat and flames (or another energy type of choice). Characters resistant or immune to energy take half damage. Targets may be reduced to 3 in any attribute score. Lost attribute points recover at a rate of one every 10 minutes. Diminished mental faculties may have additional effects on the target.
