Yup, it's better now. Though i don't think you've specified anywhere how durable the flame aura is, and i'd be glad to know that.

For the non-solid parts, I would say as strong as, let's say, Goku's Kaioken x1. the parts that are solid, like on Alexis' skin, I would say something akin to the durability of solid rock, maybe slightly more than that.

Now, i know this may sound ridiculous, but then the dagger's tip would just slip past, ricocheting away from her arm and meeting with Alexis' forehead instead. Since the strike would be coming from shoulder level to the face, Vos'stoorge's wrist would already be turned upwards, preventing it from slipping downwards, and the hardness of the shell would just prevent the dagger from getting stuck in her arm.

You even specified in your post that Alexis intended to block the strike, not push it aside, so you've pretty much written yourself into a corner with that hasty of a post.

What I intended with my post was for the dagger strike w/Pulse to meet Alexis' solid shell-like Flame Aura in a sort of struggle-like bout. Like, think how in DBZ when two Ki attacks meet and the strongest would prevail. I had no intention to push it aside. Alexis nor I would want that to happen. The way you set up your attack was the perfect chance for Alexis and Vos to have a final exchange to see who truly is the stronger fighter.

I don't know, maybe it sounds stupid, but I've always liked those kinds of exchanges between two characters.

I think you misinterpreted my post. I meant for the Pulse to be activated only if Vos misses his first hit and then follows up by hooking her around the back of the neck, using pulse to damage the base of her skull and the spine.

A quick jab towards her face - and even if she leaned out of the way, avoiding imminent death, he could still hook the dagger around her neck on its way backwards and simply activate the Pulse spell

Since it is simply a misinterpretation, i have nothing against you editing the post and choosing a different course of action.

@Vordak I probably should have asked this before, but at its strongest, what's the damage Pulse can do at its maximum? I know you implied that it can knock Alexis out cold at that close range, but it seemed you also implied something akin to nerve damage, possible beheading if aimed correctly.

It can it can blow a wooden plank apart, if we go by the description in Vos'stoorge's CS, and Wikipedia implies planks to be a minimum of 1.5 inches thick. Admittedly, that is much more powerful than what i initially had in mind for his ability - i was aiming for something a good whack with a baseball bat could achieve; a little over half an inch.
