Plasma Funnel
Among the effects Psions can acheive, none are more feared than the Plasma Funnel. Apart from it's dramatic flair, this skill is most effective at wiping out large numbers of opponents in a short amount of time.
Effect
A Plasma Funnel directs superheated air molecules through a hard light vacuum tube at high velocity away from the psion. Any organic matter caught in the beam will most likely be incinerated or at least catapulted, burning, through the air. A skilled psion should be able to aim the funnel while maintaining it, enabling them to sweep swathes of destruction across the battlefield.
Side/Secondary Effects
A plasma funnel, while effective in the hands of a skilled psion, is tricky to create. Any flaw in the vacuum tube will cause it to leak with explosive results that are usually harmful to the psion. If the flow of air is too slow through the tube, it will disperse it's heat into the surrounding area and the funnel's deadly effect will fizzle.
The psion maintaining the plasma funnel will usually require their full concentration while executing the technique. Any distraction before or during execution will most likely result in an imperfect tube or insufficient airflow.
Manifestation
A Plasma Funnel is notoriously dramatic, and those lucky or unlucky enough to have seen one never forget the feeling. The funnel appears to an outside observer like a solid three-foot-thick rod made from material glowing like a lightning bolt. The air around the funnel ripples with heat and white noise, deafening nearby listeners while the effects last.
Discovery
The Plasma Funnel technique was developed by high-ranking Dark Tribe members during the War of Dark and Light.
