Diabolical stave

Only operatives within *x* of the active operative can be valid targets, e.g. Range 9".

The first time you strike with a critical success in each sequence, also discard one of your opponent's unresolved normal successes (or a critical success if there are none).

If you retain any critical successes, subtract 1 from the APL stat of the operative this weapon is being used against until the end of its next activation.
