Mind thrust

Mind thrust was a psionic power of the telepathy discipline.

Effects
Acting immediately, the power inflicted an intense psychic assault on the mental pathways of a target creature in close range, doing them slight psychic damage. They could reduce this with an effort of will. If an experienced manifester spent more psionic energy, they could increase the intensity. After the Year of Wild Magic, 1372 DR, they could increase the damage and make it harder to resist, and after the Spellplague of 1385 DR, increase the damage and reduce their defenses.

Display
Manifesting the power produced the standard auditory display: a bass hum like many deep voices, quickly rising to as loud as a shout.

Users
Mind thrust could be used innately by a caller in darkness, cerebriliths, psionic mind flayers and neothelids, and psionic yuan-ti halfbloods and yuan-ti abominations.
