I'm trying to make a non-lethal attack move for Ebony's scythe. In this case, it's for making the opponent tired. Thoughts? (scythe description with the main move on my roster)
Soul Strike (300) Requires: Physical Strength, Debuff Proficiency, Homing Proficiency
A non-lethal attack that uses Ebony's scythe. Ebony focuses for three seconds. During this time she may move and dodge, but may not attack. After this, the previously silver blade glows a faint purple and appears slightly translucent. Ebony then may continue to attack with her scythe as usual besides from one key change. The curved blade travels through all usual weapons, shields, and armour (but can still be blocked by an actual defensive move). This also means that the blade itself cannot be used to block strikes (but the staff can). Once the blade reaches an opponent, it appears to phase through their skin. The foe feels some pain, but it's very reduced from what the attack would normally feel like. Instead of actually doing any damage, the attack solely drains the foe's fatigue leaving them tired. This is a permanent drain for the whole fight, so should Ebony win by primarily using this, or attack with it as a finisher, the opponent would fall unconscious. Each individual strike is not draining to Ebony and won't seem very draining to her opponent. However, over time, the attacks will add up.
To revert back to normal attacks, Ebony has to focus for three seconds and again can only move and dodge during this time.
