The user overloads a chakra storing gem and causes it to explode. He must throw it like a grenade any where within 15 ft. The gem has a range increment of 10 feet; failure by less than 5 means the gem will land within 10 feet of the desired target, in any direction. Failure by more than 5 means the gem will land within 2d4x5 feet of the desired target.

When it explodes, the gem deals 25 points of force damage to all creatures within range (halved on a successful Dex save) and has an additional effect based on the user's primary elemental affinity (see table below).
