### 20

You call upon your Magnakai Discipline of Psi-surge and focus a pulse of psychic energy at the head of your mortal enemy. The moment you launch your mental attack, you see him physically shudder. Then his body stiffens and his half-eaten fruit drops from his grasp. You have hit your target, but you sense resistance; your adversary has powerful psychic defences with which he can counter your attack.

You feel a sudden wave of pain wash through you as he repels your mental assault and turns it back on you: lose 1 ENDURANCE point. To your dismay, you watch as Wolf’s Bane leaps to his feet and makes a hasty escape, seemingly uninjured by your mental assault.

Turn to 224.
