Refuse is a strong word, so apologies if I've offended. I already know how to write it, the main question was how dangerous is it and I think we answered that. Misuse seems to be the issue you seem to be worried about. In the wrong hands it could prove to be a Foot Gun with a larger than normal kill zone. Dangerous enough that you actively want me to not write it? Or just saying you're not sure it can be done? > It'll be a hard enough problem to make this work for 8.4.
