Path of Least Resistance



A Sword Capstone of Nightshade Eld this capstone does the following:


Path of Least Resistance: This ability relies on a user's in-depth understanding of their sword and how it swings, allowing the user to wield it in a fashion in which it undergoes the least air resistance possible. The effects of this ability are faster and more devastating attacks, the less air resistance allowing for the sword to reach a higher velocity faster. This can allow for a far greater number of swings to be taken while also not fatiguing the user quite as quickly. Because the nature of this ability the user must be greatly familiar with the sword they are using (4-6 threads using the sword itself in combat at a minimum) to attack with. In addition, because the nature of the ability the sword becomes harder to control. More effort must be put into stopping the blade, leading to the potential injury of the user, sword, or their allies if an attack is poorly planned or executed. A careless attack against something stronger than the sword can also lead to the blade shattering, however, it can be equally devastating when the attack is carefully planned and well executed.
