New Spell?

If the subject survives the initial shock, he is incapacitated unless somehow immune from pain. Cost: 6.

Am I wrong to love this so?

The cover illustration of Adventures 1 appears to be a re-imagining of that same picture from 2nd edition cover illustration from Metagaming's Wizard.

I don't think that scene appears in Adventures 1 either. :(

It certainly is an evocative image. Perhaps it may be a stylized rendition of the control person spell.
