So, Weird Words is described thusly:
Weird Words (Su): At 6th level, a sound striker can start a performance as a standard action, lashing out with 1 potent sound per bard level (maximum 10), each sound affecting one target within 30 feet. These are ranged touch attacks. Each weird word deals 1d8 points of damage plus the bard’s Charisma bonus (Fortitude half ), and the bard chooses whether it deals bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage for each word.
However, I'm confused on how much of the damage is sent out.
Let's say my theoretical Soundstriker has 20 Charisma and is, of course, level 6.
They start a Performance, using Weird Words and attacking a target. Let's say the target fails their Fortitude saves and our Bard hits all of the attacks.
Would it be
1d8+5 over the course of six turns?
Or 6d8+30 in a single burst on a single target?
