Divination
    This skill may warn a Kai Master of imminent or unseen danger or enable him to detect an invisible or hidden enemy. It may also reveal the true purpose or intent of a stranger or strange object encountered in your adventure. Divination may enable you to communicate telepathically with another person and to sense if a creature possesses psychic abilities.
    If you choose this skill, write ‘Divination’ on your Action Chart .
    If you successfully complete the mission as set in Book 9 of the
Lone Wolf
series , you may add a further Magnakai Discipline of your choice to your Action Chart in Book 10. This additional skill, together with your other Magnakai skills and any Special Items that you have found and been able to keep during your adventures may then be used in the next adventure in the
Lone Wolf Magnakai
series, which is called
The Dungeons of Torgar
.

Equipment
    Before leaving Dessi on your journey to the city of Tahou, the Elder Magi give you a map of the Republic of Anari and its surrounding lands, and a pouch of gold. To find out how much gold is in the pouch, pick a number from the Random Number Table . Add 10 to the number you have picked. The total equals the number of Gold Crowns inside the pouch, and you should now enter this number in the ‘Gold Crowns’ section of your Action Chart . If you have successfully completed books 1–8 of the
Lone Wolf
adventures, you may add this sum to the total sum of Crowns you already possess. You can carry a maximum of only fifty Crowns, but additional Crowns can be left in safekeeping at your Kai Monastery.
