Lore Concept

Hearthold's first lesson: the ember is for the dark, the blade is for what lives in it.

How it works

Swings at every enemy within 1.9 tiles (plus your own radius) in a 135° arc in front of you, and anything touching you. One damage roll is shared by everything it hits. Using it on a monster out of reach walks you into range first. Once the swing has hit, moving cuts the rest of it short (unless you are still holding an attack).
