Cooldown: 80 rounds

Sunder Mind is a mental mutation that can be used on any visible creature, dealing mental damage every round for ten rounds.

Using Sunder Mind on a target will cause both the user and the target to become "locked in psychic battle", a status condition that prevents any other creatures from using Sunder Mind on those afflicted. The psychic battle will continue for ten rounds, so long as the user takes no other action besides passing their turn. After six rounds, both the user and the target will suffer a nosebleed. On the tenth round, the target will suffer additional damage equal to the total damage done during the previous 9 rounds; if this damage instance kills the target, their head will explode.

As it deals mental damage, Sunder Mind must penetrate a creatures Mental Armor in order to deal damage.
