Utility Power (Zone) ✦ Consumable (Standard Action)

Effect: You place the crystal in a square adjacent to you, along with a volatile alchemical item that the crystal will activate. The level of that item must be the same as or lower than the crystal's level. At the end of your next turn, the crystal creates a zone in a burst 1 centered on its square. The first time a creature enters the zone, the crystal vanishes in a bright flash, the volatile alchemical item activates, and the zone ends.

Special: Recognizing the zone requires a Perception check. Disarming it requires an Arcana check or a Thievery check as a standard action. All of these checks are against a hard DC of the crystal's level.
