If I want to "reflavor" a move, does it need reapproval, or the selling of said move to buy it again? So that we're not being so vague, I'll just show exactly what I'm asking here:
This is the second paragraph of the move "Katana." Simply put, it trades burst damage for DoT. What I want to replace it with basically spells it out and adds a historic flavor to it.
It is essentially the same thing. It turns "Katana" into a "fodder" move and uses Sharōkatto as the actual damage-dealing move.
I'm wanting to change it because later I'd like to make Dīpukatto, which is "Deep cut."
As a bonus question, does the flavor text seem different enough that I should sell then rebuild the move entirely? Or is the original move salvageable?
Note: Thanks to Cell for pointing out the flaw in the original, it inspired me to take the time to research and rewrite a much better flavor text and accurate description.

Quote:Takezo has trained to aim for exposed major and minor arteries. As such, a victim of his blade is left with a bleeding wound, dealing extra damage to the wounded target for a few seconds before the bleeding stops. Repeated slashes add accumulative damage. The damage over time is mild, and the duration for each cut is no more than three seconds.

Quote:Sharōkatto: Translating literally to "Shallow Cut," this sword technique was popularized by far-traveled Samurai who witnessed the act of Lingchi. Lingchi translates to "Death by a Thousand Cuts." It was used as a form of torture and execution in China. Sharōkatto is a technique based off of Lingchi that uses shallow cuts to inflict a few seconds of bleed damage. However, it avoids major arteries and the use of excessive strength. The lighter blows means faster strikes, which allowed the swordsman to land more cuts on their target.
