BurbLulls: If neural blast is a mental attack, it would be nice that if you can see a monster through ESP you can neurally blast them from anywhere. You'd aware of their minds after all. This would be its major difference from pulverise (Along with backlashes, etc.)
Idea 2: If you neurally blast an enemy that has mindcrafter-like abilities such as mindcrafters themselves and higher Liches, they can start mind blasting and brain smashing you. The upshot of this is that if you want to get in a neural blast fight with an ESP enemy, you better be sure your sanity and mana can cope with it.
Idea 3: Wearing helmets with no ESP-like abilities could limit/stop this ability?
