Action: Free Action
Keywords: Subtle
Duration: Instant

The pitiless void drains all to sate its endless hunger, turning strength to weakness such that even the scrawniest ninny-chanter can wrestle a Goliath to the ground. Use the result of this spell's Magic test in the place of any test involved in starting or acting while in control of a grapple.

Test: Nihilikinesis + Composure
Target Number: 20

Keywords: Material, Somatic, Subtle

Test: Nihilikinesis + Composure
Target Number: 20

Keywords: Attack, Combo-OK, Somatic, Touch

Telefragging's simple, in theory: Get your hands on the sod and very strongly visualize shoving the mephit out the airlock. The target is teleported 10m away and takes 1 wound plus 1 wound for each raise you get on the magic test.

Nihilikinesis 4
Test: Nihilikinesis + Composure
Target Number: 30

Test: Nihilikinesis + Composure
Target Number: 30

The caster invokes a pall of nothingness, swallowing incoming projectiles into the void. Gain a Void Shield with a rating equal to 2 plus the number of raises on the magic test.

Black Blade of Disaster
Nihilikinesis 5
Test: Nihilikinesis + Composure
Target Number: 35
Action: Full Action
Keywords: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: One Scene

This spell creates a dimensional rift to a zero-space of utter destruction, a realm of void and emptiness so hungry that it has a kind of terrible unlife. The rift takes the form of a large sword that effectively functions as a Power Sword. In addition to the normal properties of a Power Sword, the Black Blade of Disaster ignores a target's Armor, effectively giving it infinite penetration. If the blade leaves the caster's hands, it disappears immediately.

A Call Beyond
Nihilikinesis 5
Test: Nihilikinesis + Composure
Target Number: 30
Action: Half Action
Keywords: Attack, Combo-OK, Ranged Touch, Somatic, Verbal
Duration: Instant

Make an attack with Blast (20) that deals 5k4 damage, at a range of 30m. Wounds dealt by A Call Beyond can't be healed by spending resource points or magical healing - only by time. Any creature that is reduced to 5 critical damage by A Call Beyond is killed unless they burn a Hero Point, even if they would normally not be in danger of death.

Giga Slave
Nihilikinesis 5
Test: Nihilikinesis + Composure
Target Number: 35
Action: Full Action
Keywords: Attack, Saving Throw, Somatic, Touch, Unfettered, Verbal, Warping
Duration: Instant

The caster calls upon the most ancient of existences, the Mother of All and of Nothing, and in so doing evokes a measure of Her power. Make an unarmed melee attack that deals no damage. You and the target each take wounds equal to your maximum Hit Points, ignoring any and all effects that would prevent either of you from losing Hit Points. Any creature reduced to 5 critical damage this way is killed unless they burn a Hero Point, even if they would normally not be in danger of death. Then you can resist the Perils of the Warp caused by this spell with an Arcana + Willpower test. If you succeed on this saving throw, you are unaffected by the Perils of the Warp caused by this spell. If you fail, add +10 to the result of the roll applied to you. If you fail the magic test, the saving throw must still be made, but add the Focus Power TN of this spell to the TN of the saving throw.

Edit's in: Conditions imposed by Warping Wail now have a duration.

[Amanojyaku]

Damage for Zam-based increased by +1k1.

Giga Slave has received a hammering, to whit: Now has the Attack, Touch, Unfettered, and Warping keywords. For those who don't want to follow the potholes up above, those last two mean "can't make it harder to get Phenomena" and "you cast this, you roll Perils," respectively. If it wasn't clear before, this is a dangerous spell to cast.

Further, it no longer does "damage," so it no longer applies Aura or Resilience... but it's trading yours for theirs now. So now it's basically Avan's Megante spell.

But wait, there's more! Now you'll notice it has the Saving Throw keyword... but that's for you, the caster, not the target. You have the chance to avoid any Perils caused by the spell, at the risk of them being worse if you fail. And you still have to make the saving throw if you whiff the magic test, but it's even harder to resist for the failure.

And now Zam-based have been updated with new names and slightly different effects at each tier.
