Alright so the first explosion causes no damage to the opponent then? Sorry for the misunderstanding then, i figured it was like a double counter. So then yeah taking damage in order to strike back is pretty good balance for the move then. I also want to keep in mind that it seems theoretically possible for raal to aim his injury towards an opponent to get better results. I am still leaning towarda a lower range, 50 feet is quite the distance. Personally i would say 5 meters or 15 feet, but you could probably do 30 feet/ 10 meters[/quote]
no, the explosion specifically hurts Raal himself.
While it's possible for Raal to aim just how his body is struck, by the same token it's just as easy for an opponent to injure Raal in such a way as to avoid the consequences of a move. Something as simple as moving to Raal's left and then slashing towards his midsection will result in a beam of draining energy pointlessly shooting forward.
It should be noted that regardless of how Raal moves after being struck, the blast will go towards the direction the initial injury came from. So if you shot him from the front, then poofed behind him, and Raal managed to turn his body in the other direction, the bolt would still go towards the initial source of injury.
Of course, aiming is a bit of a problem after taking a nasty explosion that will likely knock you off-balance enough to be unable to do things like aim anyways.
