[quote="Sith'Ari Feral":12hqe9do][quote="Electrix the Wise":12hqe9do][narration:12hqe9do]Once within striking range, Electrix stabs out quickly with his right saber, It is aimed right at the center of Feral's chest. While stabbing he shifts his feet, taking a step forward with his right, to add momentum to the stab.[/narration:12hqe9do][/quote:12hqe9do]
[action:12hqe9do]Feral was ready for any attack, the force tuning his senses to the slightest twitch of Elextrixs' muscles. Feral stepped slightly to his left, twisting his right shoulder back. His left arm slipping from the right sleeve, his left hand igniting the saber that it held. With Feral on Electrixs right, his blood red saber, connected with Electrixs from underneath, lifting it slightly, and locking them together. Ferals right hand, now free, and only inches from Electrixs right torso, sent a large blast of force lightening. All this happening in no more the a second.[/action:12hqe9do][/quote:12hqe9do]
I know I am not partaking in this, but I feel it's pertinent for me to point out a few things with this.
Feral...you can't state that your saber 'locked' with Electrix's because by doing so, you are interpreting the situation for him and not giving him a chance to describe what he actually does. As you move out of the way, he may wish to roll or potentially twist, thus destroying the potential for your move. Rather, you can say something to the effect of "...his blood red saber, lashed out, attempting to connect with Electrix's from underneath. If this occurred in the way Feral hoped, he would have the potential to lift up and lock the blades together, which is what he would do if this maneuver came to fruition."
Next thing...you gave no background or context to which your lightening came from. You gave no evidence that you were collecting energy or potentially preparing for battle, except that you were 'watching' Electrix come towards you. The fact of the matter is that even as a master of the technique, it is more difficult to use when in the midst of combat, especially when locked with an opponent. It requires more focus and concentration, and thus I'm not sure if it could have happened within a second, even if you are a master of it.
