The fight against the Yogi Gangsters was not as easy as the Commando Mages had thought. They assumed those sage faces with gangsta clothes would be pushovers but only once they had engaged against them directly did the Commando Mages realised that they had the abilities to use psychic abilities, enabling them to control the battlefield to their favour.
While some attempted to use mind control as a way to turn the tides of battle, they were quickly targeted by the Commando mages. They quickly understood that the Commando Mages were impervious to such mind attacks and thus the majority of them immediately used telekinesis as their secondary ability.
Still, because they were in close combat, the telekinetic powers were not as useful as they thought they would be. Surely, they were able to push or even trip the Commando Mages but the latter quickly recovered their stance and adjusted their combat style accordingly to ensure that they could get an opening.
