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 the First Aid skill no longer increases the chance of an instant kill. This factor has been replaced by Mental Lore, Manipulation.

There is a TD pushdown for lower-level empaths.

Factors that affect Bone Shatter

• Mental Lore, Manipulation increases the chances of instant death.
• Channeling the spell from more offensive stances and with an empty hand(s) can increase the damage.
• The Mental Mana Control skill plays a significant role.

Using Bone Shatter

• CAST, CHANNEL, or INCANT this spell to initiate a warding check vesus 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. Casting Phase (704) upon non-corporeal undead will cause them to "phase in," allowing them to be vulnerable to Bone Shatter.
