Subject: [PATCH] Telepath's glimpse gets held up to the light
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The engine sent the caster a private handRevealedPrivate event carrying
the victim's cards; the client logged the public line and dropped the
private one on the floor. The stolen mind is now a modal — the cards
fanned out, once, until dismissed — in the trap-notice pattern.
