  "description": "A coruscating ray strikes the target (ranged touch attack), dealing 1d6 points of Strength damage +1 per two caster levels (maximum 1d6+5); a successful Fortitude save halves the damage. Simplification: the engine has no ability-score track, so the Strength penalty is modeled as negative untyped modifiers on the attack and damage rolls (the two combat rolls Strength feeds) for 1 round per caster level; the SRD 'cannot drop below 1' floor and the non-stacking clause are not modeled."
