Official Move Approval III

[Ezrihel]

Yes, I expected the blade to be based off my ATK stat and whatnot, sorry for not mentioning it, as I thought it was obvious? (not being smart, I didn't know I had to specify that it was based on my attack, I thought every offensive move was inherently based on ATK.) I have an idea for it though, as a drawback. Not sure if it's what you meant by drawback, but I'll give it a shot.

- Edited version-

High Frequency O Katana (requires Physical Strength) – 300 OM

The high-frequency O Katana is an O Katana reinforced by a powerful alternating current and resonated at extremely high frequencies. This oscillation helps to weaken the molecular bonds of anything it cuts, thereby increasing its cutting ability. Striking, cutting, and thrusting attacks can be performed with the blade, with the sharpened edge and point used for lethal attacks, and the blunt edge can used to inflict crude blunt damage.

The blade itself is a 36” long tempered high carbon spring steel blade, made to withstand enormous amounts of pressure from both striking and bending. The tempered blade can withstand being bent upwards of 55 degrees without having its integrity weakened. The total length and weight of the sword is 49” and 48oz, making the handle a comfortable 13” long, allowing for a reliable two handed grip. This sword is stored in a black lacquered wood scabbard and secured on the left hip, making for easy access.

This blade must be charged via being completely sheathed. At full charge the blade has enough energy to power ten strikes at full ATK potential. With each hit the sword grows 10% weaker until the charge has completely worn off. If the wielder uses all ten strikes, without re-charging the weapon during the course of the fight, the blade "evaporates" and cannot be used until the user has finished the fight, whether through escape, victory, defeat or death. In total the blade takes five minutes to charge, or thirty seconds per strike. This sword is best used with the Iaido/Iaijutsu style of fighting.

High Frequency O Katana - No you don't need to specifically mention that it is based from ATK, I mentioned the ATK to make sure that people understand that if their move has no drawbacks and is quick it will only be as strong as a fraction of their ATK. Basically it was just a reiteration of the rules in case you wanted to make it stronger. I like the drawback, I think a slight bit of tweaking would make it perfect. I'd remove the bit about ATK potential (sorry if I had confused you with my earlier statement). Unless you are dead set on the evaporating portion I think we can find a happy medium while keep the power of the move. Perhaps you get 5 strikes at full power (each attack weaker than the last), but rather than it evaporating at emtpy it simply powers down and becomes a slightly weaker normal sword until recharged. You could also decrease the charge time to something like 10-15 seconds per strike. That way you won't be out of a sword if you attack too many times, and so your opponent won't be too wary about writing you using your sword charges in his post.

Oh okay! My bad then ^ ^;

Is this any better?
