"Reaper Magic!?"  thought Vusala, with a few expletives thrown in.  She'd seen Reaper's spells before.. it'd been one of the trades she'd made with a few of them long ago.  They were avatars of death, but some things wouldn't die just because you said so.  In that philosophy, Reaper Magic wasn't designed to inflict pain as much as it was to simply kill.  Pain was a product of life, after all.  A demon with such power was a nasty trick.  The smart ones seemed to know if you heard a Reaper Casting.. and especially if they were throwing off this kind of spiritual weight.. you needed to forget blocking and get out of it's way.<br/><br/>Vusala's body rippled with heat, her veins glowing, as she waiting for the internal click in her mind telling her the spell was going off.  The power filled her legs, arms, and eyes.  At the pivotal moment, she burst into fire, shooting threw the cloud of sand in an attempt to dodge the attack.  It was a risky move, but a lot of Reaper Spells she'd seen pretty much required the target to be tied up and immobile.<br/><br/>(Vusala spends 4 Tactics Points to boost [Influence 5] to [Influence 9])<br/><br/>Action        Power         Resistances<br/>Physical     Reflx   8         Str      6        End  4<br/>Magical      Inflnc  5         Mana  7        Spir  3<br/>Seduction  Chrm  2         Pass   6        Will   4<br/><br/>Initiative     15<br/>Tactics<del>19  13</del>9<br/>Total Res<del>11</del>8
