A successful attack will inflict 8 base damage plus 1 additional [[hitpoint]] for each 20 warding margin (endroll - 100); a [[damage factor]] of 0.050. A successful cast will also include a [[Crush critical table|crush]] critical injury with associated critical damage. Training in [[Mental Lore, Manipulation]] provides additional damage based on seed 1 of the [[summation chart]] but it is necessary to replace ranks with ranks/2 ([[#Lore Bonus Table|see lore table]]).
