ARCANE ASS-KICKING Any Arcane Class Attack, Level: Any That's all I can stands, 'cuz I can't stands no more! Actions: Standard, Movement, and Minor Keywords: Arcane, Implement, Whup-Ass Target: Whatever you decide Attack: STR, CON, DEX, INT, WIS, and CHA (totalled) vs Your Choice of Defense Hit: Every attack power you've got, whether or not it's already been used, activates on the target(s) at maximum damage. Miss: Target(s) are stunned, overawed by what they've just witnessed, until the rest of the party dispatches them. Aftereffect: Wizard collapses, unconscious until after an extended rest. Also, there seems to be a "dent" in the fabric of reality where the spell went off.

Effect: The encompassed area is utterly destroyed and becomes difficult terrain. In addition, the fabric of the material realm weakens in this area, causing it to change in bizarre ways.

His spells may take time to return, making it so that one spell may be relearned in order of level per day after his power returns. Special: This action takes two turns to charge, and activates on the third turn. While charging, the caster gains resist 15 to all damage. In addition, the damage dealt from any arcane-based attacks against the caster while the attack is charging (before reduction) is added to the damage dealt by this attack.
