With a simple touch, or a proper strike, you can use your weapon as a medium to drain the heat out of your target.
As your weapon make contact with your foe, you drain a fantastic amount of heat out of them instantly. Your attack deal an additional 4d6 cold damage and the struck creature shaken for 1 round. You may deliver this strike as a touch attack with your weapon (using it reach) or with a touch, if you do you only deal the damage from this strike and no weapon damage.
Additionally, the struck creature must make a Fortitude save or lose any heat-based extraordinary or supernatural ability (such as a salamander's heat ability) for the maneuver's duration.
If you use this maneuver to strike a weapon, you suppress all fire-based enhancement on it for the maneuver's duration. This does not function on a fire-based artifact.
