You whisper the words of the Brotherhood Spell Lightning Hand and point your finger at the Arch Druid. A tingling sensation runs down the length of your arm which culminates with a bolt of blue-white energy that arcs from your index finger and explodes against the haft of Cadak's staff.

Your sudden and unexpected use of magic caught the Arch Druid offguard. He defended himself, but you sense that the bolt has weakened him. Seizing this opportunity, you draw your weapon and rush forwards to attack him before he fully recovers.15

Arch Druid Cadak: COMBAT SKILL 48 ENDURANCE 32

If you win this combat, turn to 298.

[15] There are strong indications that Arch Druid Cadak should be immune to both Mind Blast and Psi-surge but not Kai-surge. The Cener High Priest fought in The Plague Lords of Ruel Sections 156 and 212 is immune to these lesser psychic Disciplines, and Section 267 of this book describes Arch Druid Cadak's inner mind as 'well-shielded'.
