- reaching higher than 10,000T, causing instant vaporization

- dropping below 1 Willpower while wielding the amaranthine prism
- applying Spray-a-Brain to any temporary forcefield and be dominating it when their time runs out(!!) (examples are walls from stasis grenades, force bubble, and force wall.
