Flashing Steel Strike
Air 
FireDescrição
It is always risky to throw a strike with no intention of connecting, as any attack expends valuable time, energy, and focus from one’s true cause: to defeat the enemy. However, a well-placed feint can drive the enemy back, putting them in a poor position for the next move. Especially against opponents whose resolve is weak, a threatening display can be an extremely valuable tool, setting up the blow that will end the battle or driving them off entirely.
