You induce a short circuit in an augmented creature or technical device. Make a ranged spell attack against the target to induce the electrical current. On a hit, the target takes 2d6 lighting damage. Should the target be only organic the damage is halved.
An Overloaded target takes additional 1d6 lighting damage. This ends the Overloaded status on the target.
