Description:	The Mental Blast spell sends a jolt of energy directly into the target's brain, often incapacitating the victim and possibly causing them to drop whatever they're holding. This approach to psychic combat is physically harmful, often leaving its victim with lasting brain damage. This is a battle spell, intended to be prepared quickly and cast on a single target while in battle. When used on opponents, this spell pits your mind against your enemy's will. It can be cast at other adventurers and at hostile creatures. It requires a minimum of thirty mana streams, and can expand to a maximum of one hundred mana streams woven into it.

It requires the Debilitation skill to cast effectively.
