This spell causes the bones of the target to literally shatter, as if being heavily impacted. Depending upon which bones are affected, the target could be killed instantly if the appropriate critical is assigned. Training in Mental Lore, Manipulation increases the chance of an instant kill.
There is a TD pushdown for lower-level empaths. For each level under 35, the creature receives a -1 point penalty to their normal empath TD.
Factors that affect Bone Shatter
- Channeling the spell from more offensive stances and with an empty hand(s) can increase the damage.
- Mental Lore, Manipulation causes instant death on a seed 1 summation of ((Mental Lore, Manipulation ranks - 10) / 2), with a reduced chance if the warding margin is less than 50.
Instant death formula:
Using Bone Shatter
- CAST, CHANNEL, or INCANT this spell to initiate a warding check versus the target.
- Alchemists can make a slender ivory wand with 20 charges of Bone Shatter.
Bone Shatter will only work on targets that have bones. This includes some undead, which is a rarity for empath attack spells. Using Phase (704) or Kai's Smite on non-corporeal undead will cause them to "phase in," allowing them to be vulnerable to Bone Shatter.
Empaths training in the Trinkets subskill of Alchemy in the Empath Guild can make a slender ivory wand with 20 charges of the Bone Shatter spell in it. The wand does still have the pushdown for low-level characters, but uses the cast version of the spell instead of the channel version.
