"You say 'scream' … I say 'serenade'."

In the World of Warcraft: Trading Card Game.

Psychic Scream is a priest spell that causes nearby enemies to run away in [Fear]. There is a chance to resist it that increases as the enemy becomes higher level than the caster. This resistance becomes important when you depend on psychic scream to escape combat and psychic scream fails. Be careful when using it to not have fleeing enemies wake up additional mobs on their return. Combined with [Mind Flay] you can tie enemies to you so they don't have the ability to run further than 20 yards and escape to aggro other mobs. Mind Flay also counts as a dot and has a reduced chance of breaking the fear.
