Your mind lashes out, overwhelming your target with raging emotions, flooding their mind with memories and impulses they are hard pressed to control, rendering them unable to take any actions. Humanoids of 6 or more HD are not affected. The target is dazed. After a creature has been dazed by this power, it is immune to the effects of this power for 1 minute.

Augment

This power can be augmented in one or more of the following ways.

  1. You can manifest this power with a range of touch, which causes the target to take a −2 penalty on its saving throw. (When you manifest the power in this way, it affects only the touched creature, and you cannot augment it to affect multiple targets.)
  2. For every additional power point you spend, this power can affect a target that has Hit Dice equal to 5 + the additional points.
  3. For every additional power point you spend, increase the duration of the effect by 1 round.
  4. If you spend 6 additional power points, the target is stunned for 1 round. (This augmentation cannot be combined with the previous one.)

Additionally, for every 2 additional power points spent on any of the above options, this power’s save DC increases by 1.

Alternatively, if you expend your psionic focus when manifesting this power, you need not spend any power points to manifest it, but the power can only affect a target that has at most 4 Hit Dice, and the power may not be augmented.
