Seems I'm now learning new tricks…

1) MR check negates. If the victim resists, they get the message "Suddenly %s felt someone trying to magically attack him, but he/she resisted the attempt."

2) The victim takes 5AN magical damage, upon killing the victim nothing else happens. The victim gets the message "Suddenly a silver cord appeared out of nothing and flew straight into %s who died instantly. The corpse was then snatched away into the void as the silver cord was retracted.", the caster gets "The target died when it was punctured by the silver cord.".

3) If the target has the unteleportable ability, nothing else happens. The victim gets the message "Suddenly a silver cord appeared out of nothing and flew into %s and tried to yank him away without any success." and the caster gets "The target was much too heavy to be pulled by the silver cord.".

4) Each side makes a roll of Astral + str + DRN. The caster wins ties. Whoever loses is pulled into the other's province.
