+         <p>If you are a New Order Kai who has attained the rank of Grand Thane, you will now benefit from improvements to the following Grand Master Disciplines:</p>
+         <dl class="paragraphed">
+          <dt>Grand Weaponmastery</dt>
+          <dd><p>Grand Thanes are able to draw a weapon very swiftly, or switch between a hand weapon and a bow in the blink of eye.</p></dd>
+          <dt>Animal Mastery</dt>
+          <dd><p>A Grand Thane can command an animal to halt and remain motionless. Few animals can resist this command. The effects of a Grand Thane<ch.apos/>s command last approximately one minute and affect one animal.</p></dd>
+          <dt>Assimilance </dt>
+          <dd><p>Upon reaching the rank of Grand Thane, a Kai Grand Master who possesses Assimilance can cause himself, and/or a group of willing creatures in the nearby proximity, to take on the appearance of inanimate objects. Anyone affected in such a way must remain stationary for the illusion to work. Unwilling creatures are not affected by the use of this skill. A Grand Thane, or any group affected, can take on the convincing appearance of trees, rocks, bushes, boulders etc. The effect will be negated immediately if the Grand Thane, or any of the affected creatures, should move or be attacked. The effect lasts for approximately 10 minutes and has a range radius of 30 feet.</p></dd>
+          <dt>Kai-surge</dt>
+          <dd><p>Grand Thanes can use Kai-surge to attack up to 10 enemies in psychic combat simultaneously.</p></dd>
+          <dt>Kai-screen</dt>
+          <dd><p>Grand Thanes are able to absorb and transform hostile psychic energy into a positive physical effect. Using this powerful ability, a Grand Thane can restore lost <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points while being subjected to psychic attack. The number and rate of <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points regained in this way varies greatly, and is dependent upon the nature of the attack and the physical condition of the Grand Thane when the attack occurs.</p></dd>
+          <dt>Grand Nexus</dt>
+          <dd><p>By uttering the Kai Word of Power (<quote>Kai!</quote>), a Grand Thane can repel and cause damage to creatures who devoutly follow any of the lesser gods and champions of Naar - the King of the Darkness. The Kai Word of Power has no effect when used against non-sentient creatures or persons who have neither sworn fealty to Naar, nor acknowledged Naar as their master.</p></dd>
+          <dt>Telegnosis</dt>
+          <dd><p>Grand Thanes are able to excavate earth by force of their will alone. The amount of earth, the depth of the excavation, and the speed at which the excavation occurs all increase as a Grand Thane advances in rank.</p></dd>
+          <dt>Magi-Magic </dt>
+          <dd>
+           <p>A Grand Thane is able to use the following Old Kingdom spells:</p>

+           <p>Grand Masters who have reached the rank of Grand Thane are able to use the following Brotherhood spells:</p>
