How lethal is the penance stare?
This has always kind of confused me, in the Ghost Rider movie when Ghost Rider first uses the penance stare on the mugger he ends of just being paralyzed? Like he just slumps to the ground and stays there. But in other instances I feel like ive seen it where the stare actively disintegrates the host becuase of it.
Is it a thing of like how bad the sins are that result in the outcome. Like if you've only stolen purses you just get paralyzed compared to if your a serial killer? Or are both wrong and it just actively hurts you but your just scarred forever?
