Upon manifesting this power, you gain a breath weaponsimilar to that of a crystal dragon—a 30-foot cone of brilliant light that deals 2d6 points of damage and blinds each creature within its area for 1 round. A successful Reflex save halves the damage and negates the blinding effect.

You can use this breath weapon as a standard action, but you can't use it in consecutive rounds. Once you have used the breath weapon a number of times equal to 1/2 your manifester level, the power is expended.
