When you use the Detonate Force Power, you also damage enemies near the targeted object. Compare the result of your Use the Force check to the Reflex Defense of all enemies within 2 squares of the object. If your check equals or exceeds the enemy's Reflex Defense, the enemy takes slashing damage equal to one-half the damage sustained by the object. This is an Area Attack.
