You examine the door more closely and soon discover it is locked, held secure by a common deadlock. Confidently you call upon your Magnakai skill of Nexus in an attempt to pick this lock, but to your dismay, you cannot cause the mechanism to disengage. A magical charm has been placed upon this door, making the lock pick-proof.

If you possess Kai-alchemy, and wish to use it, turn to 179.

If you possess Magi-magic, and wish to use it, turn to 234.

If you have neither of these Disciplines, or choose not to use them, turn to 75.
