(1) Target friendly warjack stands up, is no longer stationary, and can turn to face any direction. If the warjack was suffering Disruption, it is no longer disrupted. (2) The warjack gains up to 3 focus points. (3) The warjack gains Unstable for one turn.
- Unstable - At the end of an activation in which this model spent more than 1 focus point, roll a d6. If the roll is equal to or less than the number of focus points spent, this model explodes and other models within 3" of it suffer an unboostable POW 14 blast damage roll. Remove this model from play.

Rules Clarification : Instability Equation (Edit)
- The warjack doesn't have to be in the caster's battlegroup. It can even be cast on a Mercenary warjack.
- The target warjack still can't exceed the normal "3 focus at any time" limit. Refer the Cortex rules.
- Despite lacking the "cannot stand up in the same turn that it was knocked down" clause like Jumpstart has, that clause is still applied anyway because of the way the core rules are written. (Infernal Ruling)

Rules Clarification : Unstable (Edit)
- You have to resolve Unstable even if some other triggered ability causes a "activation ends immediately" situation. (Infernal Ruling)
- You can spend a focus even if you have a buff that says "Warjack can do [X] without spending focus" (such as Full Throttle or Boundless Charge). The "can" is optional. (Locked Thread)

Not considered an attack & "Non-attack damage roll" ( Edit) [Show/Hide]
- There are two ways you can get these "non-attack" damage rolls.
- Type 1 - A secondary damage roll that is not considered to be an attack. Some attacks create a second damage roll that is explicitly "not considered an attack" (such as Electro Leap).
- (Note that although the secondary damage roll is not an attack, the original attack certainly is and will trigger stuff normally. These clarifications don't apply to the original attack.)
- Type 2 - A damage roll that's not from an attack. Some special abilities & special actions tell you to make a damage roll without mentioning whether it is considered an attack or not (such as Vent Steam and Flak Field).
- When it comes to other abilities that trigger on damage (such as Vengeance) both types function the same way. For brevity we'll refer to both as "Pure Damage".
- Pure damage is not an attack, so doesn't trigger stuff like Vengeance.
- Pure damage is not an attack, so doesn't benefit from stuff that affects 'attack damage rolls' (such as Bethayne1's feat). (Infernal Ruling)
- Pure damage (normally) doesn't actually hit the model(s) it damages, so doesn't trigger stuff like Shock Field. (A few of them do specify they hit, though, like Warhead.)
- Pure damage is not from an attack, but it is (normally) damage from the original model. This has two implications:
- It's not an attack from a weapon so:
- it won't gain damage buffs from the weapon (such as Poison).
- it won't gain any Damage Types from the weapon. (Infernal Ruling)
- It is a damage roll from a model so:
- Exception: Some damage is not from an attack and not from a model (for example, Collateral damage). In this case, you should reverse the stuff listed under #2 above.
