### 282

The Special Item that you hold in your hand is a Mind Gem. The magical jewel holds the mind of the giant under its malign control. With a small exertion of your will, you snuff out the Mind Gem's light. Awareness floods back into the giant's mind as he recovers control of his own mind. 'My thanks,' he bellows. If you wish to keep the Mind Gem, you may wear it round your neck.

You raise your Staff and, at the cost of 1 WILLPOWER point; use it to shear through the master link that holds the Shadakine slaves in chains. They give a cheer and break away from the battle in great numbers.

Turn to 276.
