You summon up a ball of psychic energy and project it at the advancing creatures, but at once you sense that your powers are weaker than normal due to the lingering effects of having passed through the shimmering curtain of light. Your mind-missile engulfs them, causing them to falter and fall back, but the effect is short-lived—they quickly recover and press home their attack.

In your weakened state, your use of Kai-surge costs you 2 ENDURANCE points. You cannot evade this combat.
