The first use blows the ghosts apart. It's so strong -- perhaps so unexpectedly so -- that he can tell that he has not exorcised or suppressed, but eliminated. The pool boils away. A world-splitting, blood-curdling shriek comes out of the Burial Mounds, as the pool collapses in on itself.
The shriek continues, as the curse is wrenched free of his hand and flung through the channel of connection like an arrow. It shouldn't work. It shouldn't work, when the monster is so strong, so disparate -- and yet, he feels it drive home, and wink out.
The shriek is cut off by an explosion from outside.
Backlash hits him, enough to rattle him and his core badly and make his nose and the corners of his eyes bleed -- but he can tell he has narrowly skirted a qi deviation.]
