No, it's not a nuke, alas.
These one-shot relics are considered ideal for
cleaning out ethereal infestations. When triggered,
they release the Ethereal Song of Words upon the
target. Observers - and more importantly, the target
- will see what appears to be an sudden cloud of razor
sharp letters appear and pierce the target's very soul
(it's called an A-bomb because, for some reason, using
the letter A works better than any other letter).
This relic, unlike the standard Ethereal Song of
Words, will also do half damage to anyone close to the
target: until the EPG comes out, this will be a GM
call (but as a general rule, if somebody can reach out
and touch the target, they can be affected). However,
also unlike the regular Song, this relic may be
Dodged...
These relics are, most emphatically, restricted to the
ethereal plane - but Kobal sneaks them onto Earth (and
into the hands of the worthy) from time to time. He
can't help himself.
