Cold: A ray of this energy type deals 2 points of damage. Alternately, the manifester can choose to deal no damage but instead chill up to 1 pound of non-living material (such as cooling a drink).

Electricity: A ray of this energy type deals 1 point of damage. Manifesting a ray of this energy type provides a +3 bonus on your attack roll if the target is wearing metal armor and a +2 bonus on manifester level checks for the purpose of overcoming Power Resistance. Alternately, the manifester can choose to deal no damage but instead cause a relatively harmless static shock. This shock is painful enough to wake someone sleeping, but is not painful to interrupt concentration or spellcasting.

Fire: A ray of this energy type deals 2 points of damage. Alternately, the manifester can choose to deal no damage but instead light a readily flammable object such as a lantern or torch, or warm up to 1 pound of nonliving material (such as heating food).

Sonic: A ray of this energy type deals 1 point of damage and ignores an object's hardness. Alternately, the manifester can choose to deal no damage but instead cause a loud bang at the target location (DC 10 Perception check to hear it). This power's subtype is the same as the type of energy you manifest.
