Static Discharge

A psionicist with this ability can use his control of magnetism to accumulate a charge of static electricity and then discharge it in the form of violent electrical shocks. The longer the psionicist accumulates the charge, the more damaging the discharge will be; the attack inflicts d4+1 points of damage per round of accumulation.

Maintaining this power doesn’t count as an attack, but the discharge does. The psionicist must make an attack roll to hit his target, but only magical protections apply - armor and Dexterity do not.
