You draw on your Magnakai skill of Psi-screen to protect your mind from Roark’s assault, but before it can deflect his attack, you suffer the numbing effects of psychic shock: lose 5 ENDURANCE points.

As you recover your senses, you see his ghastly apparition galloping past. It stirs in its wake a whirling maelstrom that is filled with rocks, broken glass, and other city debris. This whirlwind assails you physically and knocks you to the ground.
