Description
You concentrate upon a shimmering stinger, tiny and ineffable, representative of wrath and sacrifice and agony. You cast your gaze upon your enemies as the spell completes, and send forth tiny motes, seething with mental venom, and poison the minds of those you choose.
This Ur Spell drives a psychic goad deep into the mind of targets you choose as laid out above, who must be within range, and to whom you have line of sight and line of effect. Each chosen target is attacked with a ray attack. If you succeed upon the ranged touch attack, each target suffers (Strata 1 damage): 1d6+6 points of damage per character level (max 35d6+210 at character level 35) of psychic (energy, uncommon) damage as the spell spears deep into the core of their anger, bursting that primal urge all over their mental processes.
If they survive, the insidious effects of the Wrathful Ray makes its full effect known: If they make any attacks while able to reach an ally creature, their surging rage at everything around them means they must make one of those attacks each round against that ally creature. If they make ranged attacks, again, one of those attacks must be directed against an ally they can see, and to whom they have line of effect. If there are more than one ally they can reach, they may choose which creature they attack.
If they make melee or ranged attacks, and no ally is within their reach, they may make their attacks normally. This effect persists until they have made three attacks upon an ally, and then fades, or, the combat ends.
If they are struck by an additional Wrathful Ray, they take the psychic damage as normal, but they still only have to make one attack upon an ally each round.
