Daily, Meditatable. Also known as “Nerve Blow.” The character may, once per Logistics period per purchase, swing once with the call “Weapon Destruction” or “Weapon Stun <limb>.” This skill represents a combatant aiming to strike their foes’ nerves to slow and disable them; in-game against non-living foes, this might represent smacking a skeleton’s tibia so it falls off balance, or striking the gem at the heart of a Stone Elemental so its summoning source is temporarily disrupted

Example: Bevin is a skilled warrior and is able to use "Nerve Blow" multiple times in a day. She finds herself flanking a powerful troll during a tumultuous field battle and knows this is her opportunity to best the creature. Bevin deftly moves to hamsting her foe swinging "Weapon Stun Left Leg". Knowing the troll is hindered she follows through with another swing of her blade for "Weapon Destruction" that slices deep into the once mighty troll. Bevin and her allies may quick work of the enemy soon after.
