Hidei Magic - Crooked Step

Type of Spell: Hidei Magic

Spell Power Ranking: D

Description: The caster takes a thread, shoelace, strip of cloth, or similar piece that has been worn by the target and ties it around a small bent nail. Once mana is fed into the knot, the nail becomes a vessel for the target's footing. For up to 6 turns, every time the caster twists the nail, the target's balance is disturbed as though the ground beneath one foot shifted suddenly, reducing their movement speed by 15% and making sharp turns, sudden stops, or precise footwork harder to maintain.

Mana Cost: Low

Limitations & Side Effects:

- Boost Limit: May boost Duration or Debuff Strength, not both.

- Requires an item that has been worn directly against the target's body.

- The effect ends immediately if the knot is untied or the nail is broken.

- Only affects the target's footing and does not interfere with flight or movement that does not rely on their legs.

- The caster must physically twist the nail to trigger the imbalance.

Cooldown: 6 Turns

Requirements: A bent nail and a thread, cord, or piece of cloth previously worn by the target.
