Malich’s Penetrating Ocular Lance

What's it called? Malich’s Penetrating Ocular Lance (in short, MPOL)

What does it do? This is the easiest spell to cast, and generally, the first to be learnt. In spite of its high sounding and venerable name, the only thing it does is produce a small amount of damage on a selected target, based on a mind-to-mind confrontation with it (a fight of wills and intelligences. Careful with cats, as they tend to prove smarter than most humans and many wizards...). The damage is very small and capped (Sekiri says that even at best, it wouldn't ever surpass the 50 hps), so its use is fairly limited beyond the newbie threshold. It is efficient for killing rats and cockroaches non-manually, and the only offensive spell that doesn't employ any component.

Where is it? Being a total-newbie spell with almost non-existent skill and bonus requirements, it is logical to asume it will be hidden inside all of the Begynners' Magick volumes at the Gyms of the main institutions for the advancement of Wizardry.

What does it require? Nothing at all. A strong mindset (high INT) is appreciated.

What skills do I need? Channeling

Has it worked? The proper output should read something like this:
