Talented as he is in the arts of combat and magic, it strikes me that Rhyslin's most potent and terrifying skill is the immense power of persuasion he's developed. His charisma, displayed both through his commanding presence and way with words, is strong enough on its own to make this skill invaluable to him, but it's the presence he constantly exudes with his prana that makes him truly dangerous. In the span of just a few words he managed not only to fully disarm Vuuroena, but draw her into a technical loss of their contest by instilling her with that sense of calm and pulling her into an embrace. As she herself agreed, the duel was first to touch, and Rhyslin won without making a single offensive strike.
A fascinating scene.
