However, this act requires some serious physical training, and will strain your body in a way that it will reduce your strength temporarily by 1 point each time this ability is used. If your strength is lowered by 4 points or more, then your arms will become weak and you will no longer be able to make use of Zeal strikes that utilise the fist. Swagger will also become unusable.
Note:	{{{note}}}

Shapes:	{{{shapes}}}
Transitions:	{{{transitions}}}
Attacks:	{{{attacks}}}
Works against:
Cooldown:
Attune Effect:	{{{attune}}}

If it does and you strike that body part with your chain, your chain will deal a small amount of trauma to that limb. In order to gain the bonus effect from a welt, you must use: Sunkick -> Uprise  : for a welt on the head. Palmforce -> Descent : for a welt on the torso. Pummel -> Wristlash  : for a welt on either arm. WaneKick -> Anklepin : for a welt on either leg. Only one welt will appear on an opponent at a time, and it will naturally heal itself after several seconds if the welt is left alone.

Details:	Utilise the defensive properties of your chain and have it coil around one of your arms or legs, protecting it from an attack that would target that limb for a single use.
