Non-Standard Energy Expulsion: Temporal by Mr. Twist

This blast shoots out from the eyes or hands. Generally, it has a visual display akin to solid blue energy, though the display can be chosen by the hero. As opposed to other EE powers, this blast does no immediate physical damage, instead it advances the victim's body age.

Range: 300ft

Damage: Special. This attack does no damage, instead it increases the age of the physical body.

Effects: Victims struck age 1d6 years +1d6 at levels 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14.

Duration: 1d4 minutes +1 minute per level.

Bonus to Strike: +3 on an aimed shot.

Penalties: Due to shock at acclimating to the sudden aging, victims lose initiative in the round struck. Also, a -1 to all actions that round, along with whatever penalties accrued through old age.

Note: Creatures with extremely long or limitless lifespans are not affected by this power. The effects of old age are determined by the GM(unless they are in a book somewhere). Creatures that go more than 10% over their normal lifespans become, in function and appearance, a corpse. They cannot act, but are aware of everything around them, until the duration is over. This power can be cancelled at will. There is a version of this power that de-ages the person struck.
