Details:	Target soul: Below 75% Soul restored: 15% Coordinate a powerful strike against your target with the ancestors, having them await for you to deliver the attuned venom. When that venom enters the blood stream, the ancestors will strike, releasing an extra venom and its effects upon your opponent. This will last for 45 seconds, increasing to 60 seconds if your target is below 50% soul when cast. This effect is then consumed once it is triggered. This ability may be performed off-balance, but consumes equilibrium. Cooldown (when triggered): 30 seconds

Details:	While wielding one of Warding's weapons, you can attempt to end someone's life as a sacrifice to the ancestors. You may not, however, perform any actions while attempting to do so. If their current health percent is lower than 20% plus the percentage of displaced soul, then the duration it takes to sacrifice your opponent will be cut in half.
