    Kai-surge

    Sun Lords who possess mastery of this Discipline are able to launch a Kai-blasta pulse of intense psychic energy which is capable of affecting both psychically active and inactive enemies. This form of psychic attack is very effective, more so than a usual Kai-surge, Psi-surge or Mindblast. It can cause an enemy to lose between 2 and 18 ENDURANCE points in one attack. A Kai Sun Lord using Kai-blast determines the damage inflicted on an enemy by picking two numbers from the Random Number Table. These numbers should be added together (a 0 = 1) and the resultant total equals the damage inflicted. However, use of a Kai-blast will reduce a Sun Lords ENDURANCE points total by 4. It cannot be used in conjunction with any other form of psychic attack.

Alyss passes the sacred artifact into your safe keeping, kisses you fondly on the cheek, and with the parting words--'Farewell Lone Wolf. Kai and Ishir should be proud. You are indeed their most worthy champion'--she flashes you an impudent smile and in the blink of an eye she is gone.

By denying the Dark God the power of the Moonstone you have won a great and lasting victory which will help keep your world secure.

It also heralds the dawning of a new age, when new challenges will arise to test the courage and bravery of your New Order Kai.
