Official Move Approval IV

[Arle Nadja]

I'm dropping "Ice". I thought about the suggested changes and realized that the new "Ice" move would be mechanically unrecognizeable from the original. An entirely different move, basically.  Perhaps I'll come back to it later.

Additionally, Arle's "healing" spell seems to have been missed. vwv

Changes are in bold.

"Thunder" (300 OM; Ranged Proficiency, Homing Proficiency, Debuff Proficiency)
Arle incants the spell name aloud and, after a half-second delay, lightning is called down from the sky to smite a foe, phasing straight through any overhanging solid objects on the way. Casting and launching the spell takes a good two seconds of charge up time as well as another second of charge up to actually incant the spell assuming ideal conditions--3 seconds total--and cannot be used at all if Arle cannot speak. It does not, however, require uninterrupted concentration--only uninterrupted incantation. Note that the distinction is her being able to speak; she does not need to be heard for the spell to work. She could, for example, theoretically cast this spell while underwater or in space--but not while choking. Because it is literally lightning-fast, this attack must generally be dodged pre-emptively, rather than reflexively. One would want to begin dodging once Arle begins incanting the attack's name, rather than waiting for her to finish, which makes it a relatively difficult attack to dodge (albeit not impossible). This attack also hits very hard, being lightning and all. The damage done is a combination of brief exposure to extreme heat and shock, as well as a forced muscle contraction that often violently knocks targets to the ground and leaves them briefly more vulnerable to followup attacks. Because of this attack's high power and reliability, it has a somewhat high drain upon Arle's stamina.

"Healing": (300 OM; Healing Power, Homing Proficiency)
By incanting the word aloud, Arle envelops a target in a warm holy aura that soothes their pains and heals their wounds. The function of this spell is to allow Arle to bestow her healing power at a range and, because it is such a powerful and strenuous spell, it consumes SP to provide its healing effect. The spell has a large range of about 20 meters and materializes directly on the target after the incantation has finished. Casting and launching the spell takes a good second of charge up assuming ideal conditions. and cannot be used at all if Arle cannot speak. Note that the distinction is her being able to speak; she does not need to be heard for the spell to work. She could, for example, theoretically cast this spell while underwater or in space--but not while choking.
