When you cast this spell, you concentrate your ki into the tip of your fingers. After successfully casting drillbeam cannon, you can unleash the gathered energy into powerful ray with a drill-like shape. If you fail to fire the ray by the start of your next turn, then the spell is wasted. You make a ranged touch attack against all creatures and objects within its area starting with the subject closest to you. On a successful hit, drillbeam cannon deals 1d8 point of piercing damage (maximum of 10d8) with a 18-20/x2 critical threat. This damage counts as adamantine and magic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. Objects with a hardness of less than 20 are automatically pierced, drilling a hole right through them, negating cover for creatures hiding behind them.
If the beam successfully brings a creature down to 0 hit point or miss, the next creature in the line is attacked. If the beam fails at bringing down a target, or hits an object of hardness of 20 or more and fails to destroy it, it stops.
This spell is extremely effective against a creature unable to move, a creature that is unable to make a move action to move freely (such as being dazed, entangled and held, grappled or else). The ray receives a +2 bonus on its attack roll when made against such a creature, and its critical threats are automatically confirmed. If used against a creature unable to move and denied it Dexterity to AC (such as being paralyzed, Pinned or stunned), the beam's critical threat is also doubled.
A Qinggong Monk may pick drillbeam cannon as a 8th level power, costing 2 ki.
