	Training in [[Mental Lore, Manipulation]] ~~allows~~ an ~~empath~~ to ~~assist the spirits in~~ an ~~attempt~~ to ~~completely wither the target~~, ~~resulting~~ in instant death. ~~The chance is~~ a ~~{{mono~~\|seed 1 [[summation]] of [(Mental Lore, Manipulation ranks - 10) ~~÷~~ 2]}}, ~~with~~ a reduced chance if the warding ~~margin~~ is ~~less~~ ~~than~~ 50.		Training in [[Mental Lore, Manipulation]] provides a chance for target's muscular system to collapse, leading to instant death on a [[Summation chart\|seed 1 summation]] of {{mono\|((Mental Lore, Manipulation ranks - 10) / 2)}}. If the warding margin is less than 50, this chance is reduced by 2% of the base chance per each marginal point. For example, if the caster had a base 10% chance to kill the target, but the warding result was 140, the death chance would be reduced to 8% (losing 20% of base). With a warding result of 125, the chance would be reduced to 5%.
