Problem description: I want it to fire straight, and the strength of the blast to be bases on your powerlevel.

Then you should make a projectile, spawn an object and use missle() to shoot it. Then add bump() to make sure it deletes it self when it hits something and does damage to a person or monster.

In response to BDY (#1)
No, the missile proc's description is as follows:
<block>Send a missile of the given Type between two locations. The effect is purely visual. When Type is an object, its icon is used for the missile. </block>

You would need to make a new obj with the specific Bump() stuff.
I suggest looking it up in the DM Guide and Reference. It isn't to hard to figure out.
