Quick comment regarding this:
"The shards of ice are durable enough to easily pierce steel armor,"
That depends on your ATK stat. Not really the move itself. Instead, refer to the general strength of the move. Like, "this is weak", "this is moderately powerful", etc. You can still say that they'll usually piece into opponents and stay there.
Meh. The weak/powerful thing isn't something I'm a fan of myself, since it lacks context. I may not have specified this clearly enough in my edit of the move, but by 'steel armour' I was referring to real-world-strength medieval platemail (meaning that the shards are stronger than ordinary crossbow bolts, as those would generally only dent steel plate armour).
Move strength also depends on drawbacks in addition to ATK, and this one has both a long, stationary charge-up and a significant fatigue cost, which could be argued to make the power-level justified despite Hecate's comparatively low ATK of 2.
That all said, in retrospect I agree that adding a note to say that it depends on her attack would still be wise. For instance:
[spoiler]
Quote:Shard Storm (300) (Ranged/Area of Effect)[/spoiler]
A ranged attack that Hecate must charge for 10 seconds and expend a considerable amount of energy to use. This attack creates a two foot wide ball of ice that hovers at about 8 feet off the ground. After charging, the orb of ice shoots forwards up to 40 feet, at the speed of a crossbow bolt, before cracking into 24 sharpened shards which move just as quickly. Impaling targets in a 10 foot wide circle. The shards of ice are durable enough to easily pierce real-world-strength steel plate armor at Hecate's base ATK of 2, and will remain present after the move has been used until shattered or melted. The orb has a maximum range of 40 feet, and will shatter immediately if it strikes its target directly. Hecate must remain stationary whilst charging this move and cannot use any other moves at the same time, as it requires her full concentration. Taking damage whilst charging this move will interrupt her and cancel the charge.
That said, Hecate, if you would like to make this move weaker (in order to increase the odds of it being approved first time), you could change the strength so that the shards would only be powerful enough to dent steel plate... or maybe even just remove the word 'easily'... as you do only have 2 ATK, after all...
