Jolthar raised his free hand, telekinesis engaging with effort that was now genuinely demanding rather than reflexive.
He wrapped the invisible force around the duke's remaining upper body, pinning its arms, controlling its torso, and holding it in place against the rubble of the collapsed wall.
The duke strained against the grip. What had been effortful before was now an active struggle — the telekinesis was hitting its limits against duke-class strength while Jolthar's reserves were reduced.
He couldn't hold it long.
