If your opponent only has one encounter card left (and proves it by showing you his hand except for the encounter card), your power has no effect.
History: Lacking any natural weapons with which to defend themselves, the Magicians had to use their keen intellect to survive.

SNIVELER [O:CI] Catches Up When Behind Fantasy Flight
You have the power to Whine. As a main player, before allies are invited, if You have the most ships in the warp, have the fewest foreign colonies of any player, or lack an encounter card you want, you may use this power to whine about it. If you whine about your ships, either all other players must agree to let you retrieve all your ships from the warp, or (if possible) they each must place ships into the warp until each matches your number there. If you whine about colonies, the other players must agree to let you have one extra foreign colony of your choice or they each lose one foreign colony of their choice, returning those ships to their other colonies. If you whine about cards, you name a card you don't have (e.g., "I don't have an attack card higher than a 15"). Either one player must give you such a card or all players must discard all such cards in their hands. Whine only once per encounter.
