Oppositional Rotation - Tier 1 Super-attack - requires Physical Strength, Burst Movement, Traveler's Staff (600 OM)
A sudden, extremely powerful downward blow, likely to crack the ground below the target if it connects. It consists of two parts:
The Setup
Kelly adjusts his grip on his staff, sliding it down towards one end and switching his dominant hand to an overhand grasp. He cocks the weapon back by his hip, taking a stance with his opposing foot forward, and his leading hip turned over so that his leading heel faces his target. This setup takes about three-quarters of a second, and can be interrupted.
The Execution
The execution of the technique is twenty-five percent physical, seventy-five percent mental. In a sudden burst of raw psychokinetic force, blowing the tie out of his hair and billowing his clothes as though he were standing in a hurricane, Kelly constructs a pulley-system of dedicated force-vectors acting on his body, enhancing one specifically calculated sequence of muscular actions for just a brief instant. During that instant, he strikes, acting with sudden, unnatural speed as he brings the staff up and over in a vicious arc. He twists at the hips and waist and drops to one knee in order to achieve maximum force, putting his entire body into the strike, but the true power comes from the psychic boost.
