<p>You snatch an Arrow to your Bow and let fly a snap shot at the swooping Kraan.

<p>Quickly you recite the words of the Brotherhood Spell <spell>Lightning Hand</spell> and extend your right arm towards the swooping Kraan. You feel the familiar rush of energy shoot from your shoulder to your hand, and then a crackling bolt of blue energy leaps from your open palm. Desperately the Kraan attempts to avoid the sparkling ball of power, but the bolt hits its wing and tears a ragged hole in the scaly skin.</p>
<p>Cawing with pain and anger, the wounded beast circles around the chamber and then hurls itself upon you in a desperate, vengeful attack.</p>

<p>You draw together the mental shapes of the Old Kingdom Spell <spell>Power Word</spell> and rise up from behind the tree trunk to project it at the spider: <spell>Gloar!</spell></p>
<p>The concussive force of this ancient spell-word slams into the creature<ch.apos/>s skull and cracks it, making the beast let out a hideous shriek of agony. Your magical attack has injured the arachnid, but not deterred it. Fuelled by anger and pain, this fearsome abomination comes scuttling towards your hiding place with a frightening turn of speed. With a gasp of disbelief, you unsheathe your Kai Weapon and brace yourself to repel its swift and vengeful attack.</p>

<p>You tug an Arrow from your Quiver and draw it to your Bow. Then you pop up from behind the bough and send your shaft whistling towards the spider<ch.apos/>s bulbous great head. It strikes its skull, making it shriek with agony, but its steel tip does not penetrate deep enough to slay the beast. Angered, and in great pain, this fearsome abomination comes scuttling towards your hiding place with frightening speed. Swiftly you shoulder your Bow and draw your Kai Weapon just in time to meet its vengeful attack.</p>

<p>Drawing upon your knowledge of Old Kingdom magic, you clench the fingers of your right hand and speak the words of the spell <spell>Invisible Fist</spell>. Then you jab your clenched fist at the swooping Kraan and the force of this ancient spell slams into the creature<ch.apos/>s open mouth. The beast is stunned and bloodied by the invisible blow. Cawing with pain and anger, it aborts its dive and circles warily around the chamber. Then, with a vengeful shriek, it hurls itself at you in a wild and desperate attack.</p>
