You intone the words of the Old Kingdom Spell Power Word and shape your mouth in readiness to utter it: Gloar!

The concussive energy of your spell-word slams into Zorkaan and you see his outline shimmer and weaken. Guided purely by instinct, you draw back your Kai Weapon and charge headlong at the faltering shadow.

‘For Sommerlund and the Kai!’ you scream, as you cut and stab at Zorkaan’s vaporous form.

Zorkaan the Soultaker: COMBAT SKILL 46 ENDURANCE 36

This entity is temporarily vulnerable to all forms of psychic attack. If you possess the Discipline of Kai-screen, you may add 3 to your COMBAT SKILL for the duration of this fight. If you wield the Kai Weapon ‘Alema’ or ‘Kaistar’, you will benefit from the additional combat bonus applicable to its unique properties.

If you win the combat, turn to 240.
