Prerequisites:Two Open Tome techniques
Action:1 standard action
Range:30 ft.
Target:One creature
Duration:1d4+1 rounds
Saving Throw:Will partial

You distract a creature with a short lecture filled with unintelligible jargon and disjointed bits of seemingly related information that is simply impossible to comprehend.

Target creature takes psychic damage equal to 6d6 + your ranks in Academics and becomes confused for 1d4+1 rounds. A successful Will save (DC 15 + initiation modifier) negates the confusion.
