Weaken

Description
This feat allows a character to sap a target's strength and combat power. The tagline "Weaken Five" must be called as the feat is delivered. The target’s strength will be reduced first, followed by his/her attribute levels until he/she is calling five less damage. This effect can reduce a creature’s damage to zero but no lower. If the attack is unsuccessful, the feat is still spent.

If a creature is targeted by multiple weaken effects, the greater reduction would be applied but they do not stack. If five minutes ends or the target reaches dying or dead status the effect will dissipate. The effect can also be removed with a "Cure Metabolic" or "Cure All" effect.

Spell Delivery
As a spell, this feat will affect any target even if the packet is caught on a weapon or shield. It can be physically dodged or diffused by any Evade, Negate or Shield effect that can target a Spell, a Metabolic ability, or Any ability.

Ranged Delivery
As a ranged attack, this feat can be physically dodged or diffused by any Evade, Negate or Shield effect that can target a Ranged Attack, a Metabolic ability, or Any ability.

Melee Delivery
As a melee attack, this feat can be physically dodged or diffused by any Evade, Negate or Shield effect that can target a Melee Attack, a Metabolic ability, or Any ability.
