PUNCTURE

Level:     N8
Cost:      20 Shadow Points (SP)

Drive the keen point of your katana deep into an opponent's vital arteries,
opening a severe bleeding wound. Arterial blood pours from the puncture,
dealing 10% of the initial strike's damage at the end of each round for 6 rounds
(60% total).

Usage: puncture

Requires wielding a katana while actively fighting. Costs 20 Shadow Points,
causes 1 round of combat lag, and has a 12-second (6-round) cooldown between
uses.

Each ninja and thief tracks their own separate bleed on a target, so allies can
bleed the same monster at once without overwriting one another. Can be amplified
to 20% per round and refreshed to 8 rounds with Caustic Ash. At level 24, triggers
Crippling Kassatsu physical resistance penetration.

Details:
Your level and damroll increase the initial strike damage, which directly
amplifies the resulting bleed damage.
