Terms of the Duel

Source Dark Archive pg. 200
Because of the entirely mental nature of a psychic duel, participants can easily establish more ground rules for their duel through simple consensus, such as the following example options.
  • All psychic manifestations are nonlethal.
  • Participants can cast no spells but battle form spells.
  • A participant can escape the duel by attaining a certain goal, ending it early as a draw. This is especially common in a duel between a powerful psychic and someone with weak psychic capabilities.
  • Participants can leave the duel immediately if their physical body is disturbed or harmed.
