Bolt of Change
Value: 400 XP
Focus Power Test: Willpower
Sustained: NoFocus Time: Half ActionRange: 20m * Psy Rating
The user discharges an amorpheous ball of roiling, prismatic energy at the target. He must make a
Willpower Test to hit; this otherwise counts as a normal ranged attack.
If the bolt hits a living target, he must succeed at a Very Hard (-30) Willpower Test or suffer one
random, Mutation per degree of failure. If the target already has the rolled mutation, he takes1d10 R Damage, ignoring Toughness and Armour as his body haphazardly flows and reforms with
lethal consequence. Should the target fail his Willpower Test by 5 or more degrees, he instantly
degenerates into a mindless Chaos Spawn.
Should this bolt strike a non-living entity or inanimate object, it instead deals 1d10 R Damage per Arcana Psy Rating, with the Warp Weapon Quality as it buckles, twists, melts and transmutes the
target completely at random. For each 9 rolled on the Damage dice, permanently reduce the
Armour Points of the stricken area by 1.
This attack can be dodged in the same manner as any other ranged attack.Overbleed 9: Increase this Arcana's effective Psy Rating by 1, OR the user may launch another
bolt at a target within Range.

If a character does not have the Forbidden Lore(Warp) skill as a Trained Skill, he uses it as a BasicSkill.
Whether or not the Intelligence Test is successful, anyone entering the portal must succeed at a
Willpower Test of the same Difficulty, or be subject to Perils of the Warp.The portal lasts as long as it's sustained + 1d5 Rounds + the Technique's effective Psy Rating
