thx in advance!
Either Path would work. But actually, if the spell's intent is that you look at the target and now he's stunned, you could use Lesser Create Energy or Lesser Control Mind . . . but you'd also have to add back in the energy cost for Range. (Not for Subject Weight though, as stunning isn't a physical change.) Then it's a resistible spell.

If you wanted to create some sort of "concussion ball" in your hands that you then threw at the target to stun him, you'd avoid the need for Range but would have to use Greater effects. That's not really the best idea, energy-wise, but it might be necessary in some weird situations.
