Word of Cessation is a Disintegrate-ified version of Power Word: Kill. It causes 8d6 + Wisdom modifier damage (which is a ton, for a controller) and locks out all attacks except basic attacks until the target saves. It's not "something with under 80 hp dies," but it's not too far off, either. Heh, funny you should mention Disintegrate… that used to be an instant kill, too, before the third edition changed it.

Because ever since I saw Disintegrate's 50d6 translated into "5d6 plus 2d6 ongoing," I realized some things just aren't 4E viable.
