Shockwave is a relatively non-lethal combat spell that strikes foes with a powerful blast of air, inflicting significant stun damage and hopefully knocking them off their feet. By default the area affected is a sphere surrounding the caster but, optionally, he may set a minimum range (within which the spell has no effect) to keep nearby allies safe. The spell can also be focussed in a chosen direction – increasing its effect along that vector (giving +1 Damage Category) but meaning it has no effect beyond the chosen 90° arc.

Damage: Power x 15 Shockwave (+1 DC when focussed)
Affected Volume: Sphere with radius of 1.5m x Power
