The burst deals 6d8 points of electricity damage to all creatures within a 30-foot-radius burst (Reflex DC 37 for half ).

One who has never killed another creature must bind the Armor of Skulls in gold chains (worth 1,000,000 gp), then slowly shatter the armor by shortening the chain by one link every day for 1,000 days.
