Example Messaging:	>cast You gesture. You contribute your harnessed streams to increase the pattern's potential. You weave the Calculated Rage pattern around your mind. There is no overt change at first, except the feeling of emotional control -- and potential. >perc self You sense the presence of the Calculated Rage spell isolating a vast reserve of emotion in your mind. The spell should last around nine roisaen or until you have unleashed your RAGE six more times. Damaging: >rage You discharge a portion of the Calculated Rage spell. There is no connection there, no empathy to be had. Fury without release builds in a split second a white hot, certain thing. You reach out violently for catharsis. With calculated malice you dart along the side of a lava drake and drop kick, scoring an awesome strike (12/23). The lava drake is knocked completely senseless! Defensive debuffing: >rage You discharge a portion of the Calculated Rage spell. There is no connection there, no empathy to be had. Fury without release builds in a split second a white hot, certain thing. You reach out violently for catharsis. The attack doesn't faze a giant mechanical mouse! The mechanical mouse is stunned! On wear off: Your emotional control returns to normal, leaving behind the normal ebb and flow of thought.

Notes

• CR is a Mental Preparation TM spell that has a heavy conceptual debt to Blufmor Garaen and Icutu Zaharenela. You pre-cast it and it gives you a number of uses of the new RAGE verb that you can use that your discretion. This attack, depending on factors I'll discuss below, if successful will result in a potent defensive penalty to your victim, or a melee-range TM attack with a substantially weaker but still useful defensive penalty attached.
• Basically: for shocked empaths it's kinda like a limited-use IZ with a defense penalty attached. For normal Empaths, it's a non-damaging attack that does a considerably larger rand longer acting defense penalty.
• For reasons that'll be obvious in the messaging, the spell requires melee range to function.
• Because of the nature of the attack (again, messaging will make this clear why), this spell pierces spell wards.
