Official Move Approval IV

[Lord Zedd]

Volt (Requires Ranged Proficiency, Area Attack) 600 OM

Lord Zedd points the “Z” on his his staff (or simply either palm, if his weapon is unavailable) at a target and unleashes a lightning bolt from it at his opponent. This bolt looks and travels much like a regular lightning bolt, just coming from an unusual source. Upon impact with the target it makes a very small, localized explosion (compete with smoke and fire) that only had enough spread to  damage that one person/object. An alternative variation of the spell trades power for range, as Zedd can cause the explosion to be up to six feet wide in exchange for it being much weaker. Zedd can fire the spell just as quickly as he raises his staff or hand, but it requires most of his concentration, preventing him from doing much else. He normally remains stationary while utilizing it, but he can, at most, walk very slowly while using it.

For the second effect (the larger explosion) is there any sort of charge time for it?

Only if it needs to have one to get approved. As it is, it's the same.
