But while lesser songs trail away into silence, the Heart-Breaking Blade enforces it, with this final killing note. This Charm enhances Single Note of Pain, allowing the character to use it as a Simple Charm rather than a Supplemental, gaining the following benefits: This attack does aggravated damage. In addition, armour is ignored and pre-soak damage is increased by the user's Martial Arts if Agonizing Melody is present on the target. Regardless of whether it kills the target, damage caused by this Charm causes any instances of Agonizing Melody on the targets so damaged to end.<br><br> |
