Form of the Viper
Skill type: Form
Skill subtype: Offensive
Primary user: Swordmaster
Per-pulse cost: 20 mana per round
Requirements: a sword wielded in the main hand
Syntax: Assume 'Form of the Viper' or Assume Viper

Using their already precise striking ability, swordmasters can use the form of the viper to inflict strategic hits against an opponent, dealing damage to both strength and dexterity. The pinprick nature of the wounds means they cannot be healed except simply by waiting. The effects of this form are cumulative.
