Thought Ripple (M2, W2)

Level4

You overload a target’s mind with so much psychic stimuli that it ripples to another target, triggering the initial spell as well as overloading the new target with residual psychic overload. This spell deals @[2d8 damage][roll 2d8 as damage for 'Thought Ripple'] to the target, plus @[2d8 damage][roll 2d8 as damage for 'Thought Ripple'] for each prior target that already took damage from this casting of the spell. You choose the order in which targets are affected. Each secondary target of this spell takes a –1 penalty to their Will Save for each opposing alignment of the primary target (so if the primary target was lawful evil, a secondary chaotic evil target takes a –1 penalty, and a secondary chaotic good target takes a –2 penalty). If this spell damages four targets, it incites a thought storm that causes each target to become confused (as per the confusion spell) for 1 round on a failed save.
