Indirect psychic attack

I've given a definition of psychic attack, and that mentioned direct and indirect psychic attack. Direct psychic attack is causing an effect, or attempting to, directly upon the person you feel ill-will for - for instance, causing a headache as a result of uncontrolled jealousy, or interrupting someones sleep as a result of anger or hate.

Indirect psychic attack, on the other hand, is a more cowardly for of attack where you get at the person indirectly - i.e., by influencing the target's environment or loved ones in a way that harms the target. This could be, for instance, causing a loved one to fall ill so the target loses an opportunity, or causing their car to break down when they are on the way to an important meeting. It is the psychic equivalent of kidnapping someone's child, and, unlike direct psychic attack, which can be caused by uncontrolled energies, indirect psychic attack requires a certain amount of wilful maliciousness.

What I will post here, from time to time, are examples of indirect psychic attack - beginning with a lighthearted sketch I did a couple of decades ago for a book I've never finished (I will, given time and energy, completely re-present it):

Additional POSSIBLE examples of indirect psychic attack - these could equally well have been due to chance or mundane or non-malicious causes:

• causing problems with internet connections to stop online work for the BPLF;
• work that consumes time and energy unexpectedly, and just before they were needed for a working;
