Effect	With a violent roar the adept swings their weapon with such ferocity it sends a rippling shockwave through the air to strike one or many targets. Vertical Strike: A melee attack causes a narrow shockwave that travels up to 5 yards x Rank -1 and gains +2 Ignore Dodge. This increases to +3 Ignore Dodge at Rank 5. Horizontal Strike: A melee attack causes a broad concussive wave of force in the air that deals lethal damage in a 3 yard wide cone 3 yards long. Targets struck by the cone must make a Physical Resistance roll or be knocked back 3 yards. At Rank 5 the knockback increases to 5 yards.
