You intone the words of the Old Kingdom Spell Invisible Fist and hold out the palm of your right hand, directing it towards the body of the sinister young woman. You feel a surge of tingling power leap from your palm and shoot towards her, but this power is deflected away when suddenly a translucent wall of energy appears before her.

Fearing that you may be facing a powerful sorceress, you abandon your attack and try to think of a more effective weapon to use against her.

If you possess Kai-alchemy and wish to use it, turn to 151.

If you possess Kai-surge and wish to use it, turn to 281.

If you possess neither of these skills, or if you choose not to use them, turn instead to 164.
