Respectable shot to your back.
Abruptly, everything you see and hear comes into better focus. Your personal temporal reality has rejoined the true flow of time.
A faint silvery glow fades from around you.
The air about you stops shimmering.
You feel your extra magical awareness leave you.
The glowing specks of energy surrounding you suddenly shoot off in all directions, then quickly fade away.
Your breathing becomes more shallow.
The light blue glow leaves you.
The deep blue glow leaves you.
You feel less confident.
The shimmering multicolored sphere fades from around you.

You feel less confident than before.
The tingling sensation and sense of security leaves you.
The powerful look leaves you.
The bright luminescence fades from around you.
The silvery luminescence fades from around you.
You no longer bristle with energy.
You become solid again.
The brilliant luminescence fades from around you.
You feel your extra strength departing.
It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...
