PhosphoRend

A variant of the PhosphoRush weapon, PhosphoRend does not stop at just causing the ATP series of molecules to break down, it also attacks the bonds in the DNA structure, seperating the sugars and phosphates that make up the outer structure, producing far more free phosphorous than PhosphoRush, ensuring greater flammability..

Exposure to PhosphoRend causes symptoms similar to those of acute hemorrhagic fever, including disintegration of internal organs, hemophilia, and high fever. The victim dies within five minutes of exposure, and phosphorous deposits spread across the remains can ignite very easily.

Symptoms in plants are quite different from those in animals. While the plant does die, the hardy internal structure of the plant prevents any visible symptoms, besides a slight waxy texture to some species, caused by build-up of phosphorous in and along the outer layer of cellulose. Needless to say, these plants are incredibly flammable, and can often explode violently. PhospoRend is suitable for use as a incendiary mine field, and has the benefit of lacking any mechanical parts (besides the possibility of a detonator).
