You summon a swirling thin dust around your body which stretches out in a 5 foot aura around you. The dust is harmless to you, but any creatures that enter the area or creatures attacking you with non-reach, unarmed, or natural attacks have their liquids dessicated away, the dust bonding with water in their bodies and turning into a hard crystaline substance. They take 5d6 points of damage and 1d8 points of Dexterity damage with a Fortitude save for half damage and negating the ability damage. A creature only takes damage from this effect once a round, no matter how many times they attack.

If a creature is reduced to 0 Dex or 0 hp by this power, it immediately crystalizes completely, as if affected by [[SRD:Crystallize |crystallize]]. For creatures primarily made of liquid such as water elementals and most oozes, the power is much more dangerous. A failed save will immediately crystallize the subject, with normal damage and ability damage on a successful save.

Augment: For every two additional power points you spend, the DC rises by +1.
