Dimensional Rift - RtD: Turn 15 - Night is approaching

[Scionox]

The Phantom, from behind its' corner, launches an assault on the red-cloak's mind.

Psychically attack the red-cloaked elemental. Hallucinations, sensory overload/deprivation, worst fears coming to life, that sort of thing.

If I can't, target a bluecloak instead. The one with the gun-like object.
