Reminds me of the time a sorceress in the group I was running cast Poltergeist at a car
that tried to run her team over. At about Force 8. Did I mention she had her power focus
5 activated? Did I mention she dumped all her dice into the success test?

For a brief moment, about a city block was engulfed in a whirlwind that knocked everyone
out, including the driver of that car, the driver of their get-away vehicle, the party,
and the sorceress.
