Thwack is an instant-death spell that targets a whole group of enemies, stopping the heart (or nearest approximate). Characters that take up the paths of Priests and Sages are the only humans that learn the whack line, giving the impression of the spell family being a case of "forbidden" magic reserved only for the pious.
