Magic Resistance: Yes

A bright green ray of energy arcs from your fingertips to strike the target. You must succeed with a ranged touch attack. If the
spell is successful, the kami dramatically alter the target’s chi. The target’s Strength modifier to his attack rolls is temporarily
replaced by his lowest ability modifier. This does not affect damage rolls, carrying capacity, or other applications of Strength.
If the target makes ranged attacks while affected by the spell, his Dexterity modifier to attack rolls is likewise replaced with his
lowest ability modifier. Other applications of Dexterity are unaffected.
