The Technik disciplines of Ayurveda (medicine) and Physika (physics) allow the creation of advanced weaponry that disrupts the subtle energies of prana, or life force. The most common of these systems is known as Dazer weaponry (colloquially, sparkle cannons): short-ranged energy projectors that combine visual light and infrasonic frequencies to temporarily disorder nerve signals in the somatic nervous system. Attacks with Dazer weaponry are the opposite of subtle themselves, and only have an effective range equal to conventional projectile attacks. They do have the advantages of statistically insignificant chances of killing a target, and affecting mostly non-corporeal yet living entities (such as the vampiric hungry ghosts of the Abhva hordes).
