If the target is adjacent to an object or a wall after the power roll is resolved, they are restrained until the end of their next turn. A target restrained by a dwarf can be force moved by this ability. This forced movement doesn't end the restrained condition unless the Director determines otherwise. 5 Malice: If the target is pushed into another creature, the target and the creature are each restrained until the end of their next turn.
