The City of the Specter, Atem's Palace

[metagame]

The corpse sinks to the floor
Even the brightest gold, even the sharpest blade
Becomes sand, becomes dust

Wait, then why do we have to fight?! Why not just send us back outside?

[ soujuurou will go ahead to try and disarm mahaad by reaching to grab his wrist (19) ]

Try as he might to disarm Mahaad, something strange happens: Soujuurou's physical attack is reflected back, and deals the same damage to him (19)?!

[ soujuurou hears a crack as he connects and, oh cool, his wrist is broken. there's just a slight wince of pain from him as he pulls back, hand limp by his side. ]

Don't attack him physically!
