You can fire a blast of mystical energy at your opponent.

Prerequisites
Wis 14, Ki Pool class feature

Benefit
As a standard action you can spend one point from your ki pool to fire a ki blast at a single target. The ki blast is a Supernatural ability and is treated as a ranged attack with a range of 50 ft. The blast inflicts damage equal to your unarmed strike plus your wisdom modifier and deals double damage on a successful critical hit. This damage is treated as magic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Author's Note: The concept of combatants flinging mystical balls of energy at each other is pretty well ingrained in my consciousness as an essential element of fantasy martial arts. So I decided to give it a shot porting this concept over to Pathfinder. My approach to this feat was to have something easily accessible to Monk characters so as to capture the relative prevalence this kind of attack has in fighting games such as Street Fighter or King of Fights (two major sources of inspiration). I feel while the feat gives Monks some options for ranged combat, it is not so powerful as to overshadow the iconic “blaster” classes of the game (i.e. Sorcerers and Wizards).
