Actually, a few more things.
Would this bypass our soak and be attacking us by effecting the sword or do you mean from being close to him? Cause stopping us from simply summoning him back sounds like a shaping effect and Usum has always been described as indestructible.
Yup, that would be shaping
Yeah, but the scene description didn't really convey what was going on very well in my opinion. I don't think I could describe to you where we were for most of this event.
Not entirely satisfied with it myself, it had a lot of moving pieces and I was stressing out over counting dice manually.
