Burst of EM static: 1d4 shock and short out small electronics.
A bolt of dirty electromagnetic static arcs to one target within 30 ft,
dealing 1d4 shock damage (Reflex save for half). Unshielded small
electronics on the target -- optics, comm beads, smart-sights, personal
scanners, wrist comps -- short out for 1d4 rounds. Larger systems and
hardened military gear are unaffected. The damage is electrical and
ignores standard ballistic armour.
