>We need something new for this, not just using Purification on its own, we require something more fitting.
>When a thing charges, it naturally gathers more energy to itself, and that will be its weakness. This is what we shall use. The enlightened soul know that self is an illusion, and so too is not-self; this we have seen when we blended our thoughts with Lily's, yet remained distinct. What this counter will do is blend itself with the energies being drawn in to whatever is being charged, while remaining distinct, and at the same time melding them to itself. Much as karma is a cycle of suffering and rebirth, so too shall this become a cycle of absorption and strengthening, drawing from the power being charged until it is strong enough to break what is being charged, and perhaps affect the target with a moment's realization of the futility of spreading suffering. This shall be called Karmic Touch.
>With a new attack, for a new purpose, in your mind, you gather your courage and, planting your heel firmly, spin in place, and invoke the charm for your new spell.
>Your head swims as you spin, the blurred world whizzing through your vision wreaking havok with your head. However, as the woman comes into your vision, you note that while your normal vision is impaired, your Othersight is functioning perfectly. You can clearly see the woman's aura, the demonic energy framing her form, the stripe on her face blazing like a spotlight, her ring, leaking like a damaged sprinkler, throwing off vile energy. All of which gives you a very clear target.
>You also see her attack now: her energy is generating into a solid sheet of brass, coalescing above her ring hand, and it is there that your point your scepter as you speak. As quickly as you can, to boot.
>Perhaps due to her mental instability, or perhaps due to the nature of her attack, you manage to fire off yours before she does. From the tip of your scepter flies an indigo-colored whip of energy, spinning like a helicopter blade through the air towards the brassy wedge, now almost fully formed, sharp edges clearly visible on the sides. It's a good thing you got your attack off first, you would NOT have wanted to get hit by that flying blade. Assuming, of course, your attack does its job before she fires...
>Your spinning whip of light impacts upon the brassy blade just as the woman hauls it back to throw it. For a heartbeat, you fear that this attack, like your Amber Lotus earlier, won't affect the enemy until later, giving her a chance to unleash that wedge of blade-edged metal. A heartbeat later, you see the angry yellow energy suffusing that wedge of brass turn a pale indigo. Another heartbeat later, the construct explodes, the brass shrapnel evaporating into wisps of pale blue light as they fly through the air.
>The woman howls as your attack detonates hers, a sound mixed with surprise, pain, and rage. The remaining energy of your technique arcs from the detonating wedge of metal into the woman herself, which flashes through her body like an electric shock, before collecting in her ring. The ring emits a massive flash of light and energy, and you shield your eyes to prevent them from suffering any more damage. When you look again after the flash subsides, the woman's demonic aura is greatly reduced in intensity. Her ring remains intact, but it is very badly damaged. You can hear her breath escaping her in an elongated sighing groan as she hangs in midair, her body somewhat limp. She appears to be stunned.
