Eh? I had been assuming all this time that this was an
astral-space only sort of thing, kind of like the hole where
Dunkelzahn "died". It seems more appropriate for this to affect the
physical plane much less than the astral plane.
Suggestions:
1) Astral space only
2) Reduced effect on physical plane
2a) 1/2 power, -1 staging on physical?
2b) double power on astral?
3) Rename effect. :)

PS- I keep having Highlander imagery whenever I visualize this power.
