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 This factor has been replaced by Mental Lore, Manipulation.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. For each level under 35, the creature receives a -1 point penalty to their normal empath TD.

Factors that affect Bone Shatter

Using 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.

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.

You gesture at a mud wasp.

   Warding failed!
The internal skeletal structure of a sand devil implodes inward upon itself, leaving behind no support for its body or life. The sand devil falls to the ground in a lifeless mass of flesh and fractured bones.
