Name
overpressurize — suddenly increase the pressure of a spatial region, causing it to violently unbalance, sending a shockwave towards a victim
Synopsis
cast 'overpressurize' [<victim>]
Description
Sound is a pressure differential in materials; its transmission is the rate of propagation of that pressure. Overpressurizing the atmosphere near a victim will cause a violent and sudden airburst, as the affected region bleeds out to adjacent space, rupturing eardrums and causing shell shock on its way.
