Beginners Bomb

Taken from Adfeng's Technique Stash In addition to defensive techniques, one must have some offensive techniques in their repertoire. The most basic attack that is simple yet effective is an energy bomb. While any one can take a lot of energy, condense it and cause it to explode on impact, it may not be well made. We will focus on the construction, detonation, and focusing on the attack. Let’s begin:

1. Make a psi ball. Condense it. Shell it.

2. A bomb can have many triggers, such as a fuse or proximity detector. We are going to go with a touch trigger. When the bomb touches the target, the bomb will explode. Program the psi-ball to explode on impact and cause damage to the area around it.

3. If the shockwave is allowed to dissipate as it does in real life, much of the force is lost. Program the bomb to centralize its energy detonation towards the center of the target. It helps to visualize that the bomb is projecting its explosion towards the target rather than exploding outward in all directions. Energy works differently than physical objects. Remember this.

4. Blunt damage is only one type. While it may barge through things, we need a piercing effect as well. Inside the bomb, create “shrapnel” pieces of energy designed to penetrate any shielding that the target may have. This shrapnel will flow with the shockwave of energy.

5. Ensure that this energy bomb cannot be reprogrammed, retargeted, or used against you. Ensure that it will find its target when programmed to attack. If the target is lost, you may want the bomb to deprogram itself. It is up to you. Experimentation is the key.

6. Test the bomb on a non-human, non-sentient construct (a shield). Have a scanner watch while it is being tested.

7. Refine your energy bomb and try it again. Work on this and add different characteristics (experimentation!).

While this might seem complicated, this is just as it says: a beginner bomb. There are much more complicated things that go on than making sure the bomb hits the target.
