Power chord

This is a charm, usually in the form of a plectrum. When the plectrum strikes the guitar or base strings, it unleashes the power of music, a great blast of raw sound that can push people back and deafen them.

Spell Effects: Greater Create Energy x2
Inherent Modifiers: Affliction 1: Deafness (+5), Affects area (cone 10 hexes long and 5 hexes wide at the end) (+8), Sense-Based +30; Damage 4d-1 (+11), No Wounding (+10)
Greater Effects: 2 (x5)

The spell does 4d-1 knockback damage (only) to anyone within a cone 10 hexes long and 5 hexes wide at the end, emanating from the guitar or base. Anyone within the area must also make a HT roll or be deaf for a number of minutes equal to margin of failure.

Typical Casting: Deafness (+43), Knockback (+21), x5 = 320 energy

I'm uncertain about the Knockback effect. No Wounding is 1 -50% limitation - does this increase or decrease cost?
