This spell, when used, melts the skin over the subjects mouth,
ears, and nose. Then as they shit their pants, their heart and lungs
start to pump their contents to the head. Eventualy the subjects head
will explode in a very bloody and brutal death. I've used this twice and
Have ended two shadowrunners lives this way. Great fun for the GM.

Perhaps a bit to powerful, the use of an instant death spell. try appling a
base damage level, (even if it is D, they could still bring it down to a non
death result). Also with the target of 10-essence you are making Mages
more vulerable to the spell than a wired Sam, Why??? Sounds like a useful
spell but can you go into a little more detail about the mechanics, ie Damage
level....
