I am willing to take on the ranged control proficiency, as indicated in the original description, no prob. The original intent was that the coil(s) would, at the time of execution, already have a target and go toward that target, but I did not consider that if the target moves before the coil could reach them what would happen. Taking on the ranged control would make sense for that scenario. Here's the updated description:
Pain - 300 OM (although willing to do 600 OM)
(Requires Ranged Proficiency, Area Attack Proficiency, Ranged Control proficiency and/or Homing Proficiency)
Violet crosses her arms over her chest, and a drape of energy surrounds her. She then submerses herself in a dreamlike state, eyes hazing over into a eerie reddish glow, and reaches out with a black translucent coil of smoky ki, grasping hold of opponent(s) and shocking them with the invisible hands of energy. The coil(s) crawl along the ground rather quickly (think of flowing water or really thick smoke).This attack takes at minimum 30 seconds to charge (longer if targets are further away/multiple targets), and usually causes some temporary disorientation to the user after it is used. Takes at least five minutes to recharge before it can be used again.
You'll need to put in whether this is a remote control attack or a homing one (homing would be fire and forget, or require no aiming whatsoever - remote control would require Violet to chase down the targets with her own technique). It says multiple targets; does that mean she can spread out smoke? What is the limit on its area of effect?
It would be nice to be able to do both, depending on her intent at execution. If a situation allows her more time to work with it, being able to direct the coils towards target(s) as they move around would be cool, otherwise, it's just shooting them at targets, and risk missing if the target moves.
As for targets, yes, the intention is to be able to manipulate it to spread further away from her if she needs it to, with an area no greater than 20 yards (60 feet). The further away she needs it to go, the more time she has to spend executing it, leaving her somewhat vulnerable to attack. Targets that are close may get hit by homing coils rather than actively controlled ones. Multiple targets may be effected, depending on how much power she throws into the move, which can be quite demanding on her (and leave her weaker after execution). Not sure how many max targets to give it, definitely nothing ridiculous, maybe 3-5 max?
I am thinking it may be interesting to split this attack up into two, one using the homing proficiency and as you said "fire and forget it", and another (perhaps named "Oblivion", after the name of Anima's move(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XD9UhmXpCXs) in which Pain was inspired) that deals with the remote controlled proficiency, and being able to move while executing the attack.
