If you become aware that you are being scried, either through a check or a detect scrying spell, you can channel a blast of destructive energy at the scrier. The energy inflicts 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 10d6). This spell does not provide any information about the scrier. The damage harms only the scrier, and not the means of scrying (a mirror or crystal ball). It does not disrupt the scrying attempt unless the scrier is killed or knocked unconscious.

Alternately, rather than channeling a blast of destructive energy, you can channel a single-target spell effect of 3^rd-level or lower at the scrier. Spells requiring touch or an attack roll cannot be channeled. Since you have no knowledge of the scier, you don't always know if the spell will prove effective. For example, you can channel a charm person spell, but the scrier might be undead or someone otherwise unaffected by charm person. You must have the spell currently prepared (sorcerers must know the spell) and after channeling the effect, the spell slot is used.
