Effect	The caster unleashes a deadly beam of planar energy which deals Willpower + Sorcery + Seed: Energy lethal damage, and applies the elemental effect to anybody passing through or struck by the beam. The beam persists for as long as the caster concentrates or Rank rounds have passed. Mana is only spent and Backlash applied when the spell is initially cast, not subsequent rounds, however the beam continues dealing damage according to the initial cast. A target moving through a square with the beam may treat the square as tough terrain to evade the beam by ducking or jumping over it. The caster may move the beam in either direction side-to-side once per round without breaking concentration, dealing damage to all targets struck. If a target is slain by the beam, the next target in the path of the beam takes damage immediately.
