+====== Killing Blow ======
+A killing blow may be administered only to a unconscious victim.  It is delivered by touching a weapon or spell packet to the victim's torso and calling out "Killing blow one... killing blow two... killing blow three."  (This process takes a minimum of three seconds, no matter how quickly you say the words.)  If the process is interrupted, the killing blow fails.
+A killing blow may be interrupted by:
+  * The character taking damage
+  * The character being hit with any spell
+  * The character being hit with raw mana (hitting the character with a spell packet while saying the descriptor **interrupt**((//Interrupt// is a spell that has no effect except to interrupt a killing blow.)))
+  * The character's weapon being knocked away
+  * The character being distracted by a rogue's **distract** ability.
+If a killing blow is interrupted, the character must wait at least 15 seconds before attempting another killing blow.
+If a killing blow succeeds, the character is dead and is beyond normal or simple magical healing.  (A killing blow is the equivalent of cutting the victim's head off.)  However, a dead character may still be magically resurrected.
