Power Strike

This skill gives the character a +10 Damage Bonus for one swing and augments their attack with magic. To use this skill, the character must expend 4 Power Points, prefix their damage with “Power Strike...” and suffix their attack with “...Magic”. For example, if a character normally deals 5 points of damage with their weapon and they used this skill, they would call “Power Strike, 15 Magic”. This bonus is added to the base damage of the character’s attack, therefore anything that increases or decreases the character’s damage affects this bonus. For example, using the numbers from the prior example, if the character used a Critical Attack skill, they would swing “Power Strike, 45 Crit Magic.”

The Power Points are expended when the skill is successfully used, so if the character misses their target or fails to connect with the blow, the Power Points are not lost. The Power Points are expended if the target character calls a defense to the attack.
