As the name implies, the Stun psycast stuns  a selected target for {{Ticks|{{P|Duration}}}}. This target must be in [[line of sight]] but can be any pawn including [[human]], [[animal]], or [[mechanoid]].{{Check Tag|Verify|Verify mechanoid}}{{Check Tag|Others?|Turrets, entities, any others}} The duration scales proportionally to the target's [[psychic sensitivity]] i.e. a pawn with 200% sensitivity would be stunned for {{Ticks|2*{{P|Duration}}}} while a pawn with 0% would be immune.{{Check Tag|Detail|0% prevent targeting or just have a duration of 0 seconds?}}
