Reading the text for Mindblast Tier I, the distraction effect takes a move action to accomplish. How long does the effect last? Since the Tier II ability takes a move action to accomplish, but specifically states that it lasts only 1 round, does that mean that Tier I lasts more than 1 round? This would seem to be bourne out by the statement that Tier I can be applied to a new opponent at the start of each new round of combat. So when does it wear off? 1 minute, 5 minutes, rounds=class level, one combat (however long that may be) or what?
If it does last for a whole combat, then Mindblast will definitely be my 1st discipline when I build my Kai Lord. I can use Tiers I and II to counter the penalties of Tier III when fighting a single opponent - plus psychic combat.
