Your touch causes the target’s form to become corrupted. The anatomy of the target rebels against itself, causing massive physical pain. The target suffers 1d4 points of temporary Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution damage and is nauseated. Each round after the first, the target may attempt a Fortitude save to shake off being nauseated.

Augment: This power may be augmented in one or more of the following ways.

• By spending an additional 4 power points, the duration increases to 10 minutes per level.
• For each additional 3 power points spent, the target suffers another 1d4 points of damage to one physical ability score.
• In addition, for every 2 additional power points you spend to achieve any of these effects, this power’s save DC increases by 1.
