Your cut is visible as a corruscating wave of flame that rolls forth. If the attack hits and deals at least one point of damage, then you also destroy one piece of equipment on the target per point of damage dealt. This can include weapons, armour, books, items of clothing, etc. |

This attack may be made at close combat, or at any target you can see at least partially within three hundred yards, and have clear line of effect to. Your cut is visible as a shimmering of silver energy moving in a wide arc. If the attack hits and deals at least one point of damage, then the target is thrown back a number of metres equal to your wind trigram. Also, everyone within (Wind Trigram) metres of the target is buffetted by a strong wind and loses the benefits of any stance he is in until the start of your next turn. This strong wind has no real effect on human-sized characters, but is enough to blow aside flames, displace shallow water, scatter debris and blow away birds and vermin. |
