Word of Vengeance (Priest Spell)

When the priest utters this word, any psionic creature psionically attacking or in mental contact with the priest suffers the effects shown on the table if a saving throw vs. spell is failed.
Hit Dice 	Effect
less than 4	Kills
4 to 7+ 	Paralyzes 2d4 turns
8 to 11 + 	Stuns 5d4 rounds
12 or more 	Deafens 2d4 rounds
In addition, any psionic creature surviving a failed saving throw is rendered incapable of using any psionic powers save defense modes. This effect lasts for a number of days equal to the number of levels or Hit Dice by which the caster exceeds the creature; the creature is affected for a minimum of one day. During this time, the affected creature's PSP total is halved.
The nature of this spell allows it to be cast in response to a psionic attack. If psionically attacked, the caster can instantly change any previously declared action and attempt this spell instead. If the caster wins initiative, the spell succeeds. If the caster loses initiative, the incoming psionic attack disrupts the spell.
Notes: Very rare spell. (Updated from Polyhedron Newszine.)
