Official Move Approval IV

[Albert Wesker]

Colonel
Body Burn: How draining is this on Colonel’s stamina?

Elemental Swords: How long does the debuff on Elec Sword last?

Ah, yes. Knew I was forgetting a few details. Changes be bolded.

Body Burn -- 300 OM (Requires: Area Attack Proficiency)
Colonel briefly gathers a charge of energy across his entire body, marked by a slowly building aura of shimmering heat rolling off of himself. After a six second buildup, during which time Colonel can move but not execute any other techniques or moves aside from the use of his basic sword or buster, the charge is ready to be released, and can be held for up to thirty seconds without being discharged, at which point it will dissipate to prevent gross overheating and internal damage. The charge cannot be interrupted or broken, but sufficient damage can stall it momentarily while he recovers his bearings. When the charge is released, it takes roughly half a second to do so, and produces a burst of flame in all directions, reaching out to approximately three meters in a quick, explosive wave. A wave of oppressive, suffocating heat reaches outward for another two meters, making the air shimmer and waver and distorting vision within the effected area. The burst of flame lingers for three seconds before fading, and the shimmering heat haze remains for another ten seconds, offering an effective partial obscuring tactic. The energy drain from using this move isn't greatly exhausting on its own, but repeated usage of it is a quick way to rapidly wear down energy reserves.


Elemental Sword -- 1500 OM -- (Requires: Physical Strength, Ranged Proficiency, Debuff Proficiency)
Colonel's saber briefly switches off, igniting into a blade of different properties. Switching to any other form of blade, including back to the default Colonel Saber, takes slightly less than one second, and doesn't require great focus so can be effectively done on the fly, even in the midst of a combination attack with his sword.
-- Fire Sword: Colonel's blade ignites into a pillar of intense flame. The actual blows from this sword are somewhat less powerful, not biting as deeply as a standard blade, but tend to leave viciously burning, debilitating wounds, causing things it strikes to catch fire and blaze fiercely for several seconds, based on the difference between the target's DEF and Colonel's ATK.
-- Elec Sword: Colonel's blade erupts into a sparking, crackling mass of electricity. The strikes of this weapon leave targets struck by it numb and sluggish for a few seconds, pending difference between their DEF and Colonel's ATK, and sparks from it will jump a short distance to leave glancing blows on targets even if they manage to avoid or deflect the actual blade. It is not a very powerful weapon on its own, but is very useful for hampering and keeping foes on edge.
-- Aqua Sword: Colonel's blade streams forth into an oscillating blade of liquid. This weapon bends and twists, acting almost like a whip instead of a sword, and can lash and curl around attempts to deflect it, making it hard to avoid entirely. Its primary purpose is that it can stretch and extend like the liquid mass it is, extending Colonel's range of attack with it to nearly four meters.
-- Air Sword: Colonel's sword blasts out into an almost transparent mass of wind. This form of the sword is incredibly light and quick to strike, having virtually no weight to it. It thus has almost no physical impact, inflicting only superficial wounds, but every strike produces a short, fierce blast of intense wind and air, threatening to force targets off balance or knock them stumbling back.
-- Bamboo Sword: Colonel's sword shambles to life as a mass of dense, gold-green energy. It is nearly twice the size of his standard blade, and extremely heavy and slow, but hits all the harder as a result. It has great range and power, offering the potential to smash through attempts to block or deflect it, but it is slow and unwieldy.
