I'm working the Du'rashka Tul, the xen'drik phenomenon that large organized groups on Xen'drik fall apart into savagery since the fall of the giants.

I'm trying to connect a minor form of this effect to a psionic power that an NPC will posses, but I'm not familiar enough with psionics (or the supplements, which I don't have) to find something suitable. Telempathic Projection causing hostility over a wide area would suffice, but I don't see a "mass" effect. Death urge seems like overkill. Is there anything suitable I'm not seeing, or in a supplement?

The idea is that the PCs will face inexplicably hostile NPCs, but come to realize one seemingly peaceful individual is at the center of the maelstrom.
