You get one shot at it in a fight, you said, but that is a very good shot. I'd love to see it used on a Red Templar, just for irony's sake.

( sure, magic is cheating, but using magic to fuck up a templar's ability to hold a sword is conceptually hilarious, so right away that's worth it. funnier still on an ordinary templar, but they come up against them on the battlefield less often.

well, for now. )
