Twelve Yards of Brambles Skill

The Twelve Yards of Brambles Skill, often known just as the Brambles Skill, is a martial arts skill, specifically a coalescence skill, one of the most powerful and secret skills of the Lone Fir School.

Description
While many coalescence skills work on the basis of moving energy to block or absorb attacks, the Brambles Skill does more than that - it actively reflects some of the power in a strike back at the attacker, in a series of pinpricks drawing from the master's reserves.

For the attacker, it is as if he has punched with all his strength into a thicket of thorny brambles - the force of the punch is lost in the thicket, and as he withdraws the thorns will cut him all over.
