Mind Disrupt
Debuff 1 Turn
Psionic interference that scrambles concentration. Target's next ability has increased AP cost, disrupting action economy.

Mechanics
How It Works
- Increases target's next ability AP cost by +1
- Affects the next ability used, then expires
- Can prevent actions if target lacks AP
- Forces inefficient AP spending
Duration & Stacking
- Lasts until next ability use or 1 turn
- Does not stack - only one instance active
- Consumed when target uses any ability
Tactical Impact
- Action denial: 3 AP ability becomes 4 AP (impossible)
- Tempo loss: Enemy gets fewer actions per turn
- Priority target: Disrupt key unit before their turn
Interactions
Strong Against
- High-cost abilities: 3 AP skills become unusable
- Low AP units: Units with 3 AP can be locked out
- Key abilities: Deny critical skills at crucial moments
Counters
- Basic attacks: 1 AP attack "wastes" the debuff cheaply
- High AP units: 4 AP units absorb cost better
- Multiple abilities: Can still act, just inefficiently
