Plasma Baton

This baton is a marvel of plasma technology. It can unleash a surge of energy that shocks the victim to the core.   For humans, the shock is so brutal that they snap out of the dream world. Their soul evaporates in a cloud of smoke, leaving only a scar in the air. But if a person is tough enough to survive the shock, their soul might get stunned and paralyzed. The freeze is temporary – just enough time for the assailant to plunder them or for the defender to flee.   If the baton strikes a hinn – those annoying bugs – it could make them blow up in a fireball. The same could happen to a larger djinni like an Oread or Malkash – but it would require at least a dozen strikes to do that. That’s why the plasma batons are favored by security and sometimes by thieves who want to rob their prey.   The drawback is that the weapon runs out of juice after a few strikes. That’s why few djinn or people dread it, but they still steer clear of it as much as they can. Because getting hit by a plasma baton will not tickle.
