of your target to produce various effects. This will require momentum | |||
and reset the momentum decay timer. The results are different depending | |||
on if you are using a flail or a morningstar. | |||
Morningstars: | |||
When expending in a strike to the head, your opponent will be stunned | |||
and have their vision restored. If they are already unblind and are also | |||
prone, they will receive a skull fracture. | |||
When expending in a strike to the torso, you will drive the air from | |||
your target's lungs, cancelling any aura of rebounding that they may | |||
have begun establishing about their person, and numbing them into | |||
paralysis. If they are already paralysed, you will crack their ribs. | |||
When expending in a strike to the left arm, you will make them unable to | |||
parry effectively for a short time and afflict your opponent with | |||
clumsiness. If they are already clumsy, you will fracture their wrist. | |||
When expending in a strike to the right arm, they will find themselves | |||
unable to utilise tattoos effectively for a time and will be afflicted | |||
with weariness. If they were already weary, you will crack their wrist. | |||
Finally, when expending in a strike to either leg, your target will be | |||
knocked to the ground and become lethargic. | |||
Flails: | |||
When expending in a strike to the head, your target will be afflicted | |||
with healthleech. If they already have healthleech and are prone, you | |||
will fracture their skull. | |||
When expending to the torso, you will drive the breath from their lungs | |||
and afflict them with asthma. If they are already asthmatic, you will | |||
crack their ribs. | |||
When expending to either arm, you will cause their skin to become bloody | |||
and raw, afflicting them with darkshade. If they are already suffering | |||
from this affliction, you will fracture their wrist. | |||
When expending to either leg, you will cause them to become clumsy. If | |||
they are already clumsy, they will be knocked off balance for a short | |||
while. | |||
* All expends cost 1 momentum, except expend legs with a morningstar | |||
which costs 3. | |||
** All non-fracture based afflictions from flail expends relapse a short | |||
while after they are first given, striking for a second time. | |||

deals significant damage, and has different results based on the limb | |||
targeted. | |||
Head: raises the damaged state of the limb by a full level if possible. | |||
Torso: fractures three of your target's ribs in one strike. | |||
When targeted against the head it consumes 7 momentum; when targeted | |||
against the torso only 3. This ability also has a longer balance cost | |||
when used against the head. | |||
