[Rq-rules] Potency of Disruption Spell

[Paul Cardwell]

There's that "Junk mail" tag again!  Remove it when
responding and make it easier on the rest of us.

Mythworld calls the spell Zap, but it is essentially
the same as Disruption is (or at least was back in the
days of RQ2.  There is D3 damage to specific
locations, but cannot be targeted to any (even with a
half mana power, to give an analogy to the aimed shot
of physical weapons).  It has worked quite well.
