Mechanics
If you successfully
parry an attack while in a forward or greater
stance, you will launch an automatic retaliatory strike at -2 RT. The chance to make this strike is
50/75/100% at ranks 1/2/3, and such strikes are limited to one every
(6 - Rank) seconds.

... and hit for 115 points of damage!
A strong blow cleaves the left wrist!
The hand dangles, spinning slowly, and then snaps back in place!
You hear a sound like a weeping child as a white glow separates itself from the ghostly pooka's body as it rises, disappearing into the heavens.
The ghostly pooka ceases all attempts at movement.
The dim aura fades from around a ghostly pooka.
