Augment: You can Augment this spell in one of the following ways:

  1. If you spend 2 additional spell points, you can use Power Word: Stun. This changes the condition inflicted by the spell to stun rather than blindness, and renders any creature that currently has 151 or more hit points immune to the spell.

  2. If you spend 4 additional spell points, you can use Power Word: Kill. This adds the [Death] descriptor to the spell, causes a creature that falls victim to the spell to die rather than being blinded, and renders any creature that currently has 101 or more hit points immune to the spell.
