'''Force Orb''' allows the caster to summon a translucent orb of force that attacks a target. If the target fails to ward the mental attack, he or she will take some light [[Hitpoint|concussion]] damage and sustain a [[Crush critical table|crush]] injury. 

Training in [[Mental Lore, Manipulation]] increases the concussion damage of this attack.

==Damage Formula==
A successful attack will inflict 8 base damage plus 1 additional [[hitpoint]] for each 20 warding margin (endroll - 100); a [[damage factor]] of 0.050. A successful cast will also include a [[Crush critical table|crush]] critical injury with associated critical damage. Training in [[Mental Lore, Manipulation]] provides additional damage based on seed 1 of the [[summation chart]] but it is necessary to replace ranks with ranks/2 ([[#Lore Bonus Table|see lore table]]). 

<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=400px}}><tt><center>'''8 Base damage + [[trunc]][(endroll - 100) * .050)] + ML, Manipulation ranks/2 (seed 1) + Crush Critical Damage'''</center></tt></div>

===Calculation Example===

Total damage from the attack in the above messaging.

1. Endroll: 334<br>
2. Warding Margin: 224 (334 - 100)<br>
3. Crush Critical Damage: 15 (Rank 3 chest critical)<br>
4. Lore Ranks: 0

:8 Base Damage + trunc(224 * .050) + 15 Critical Damage = 34 Total Damage
