Aegis

Gelard whispers to you:
This form of combat can be invaluable when sheer power
is needed in combat. While slightly increasing his or
her level of defensive capabilities, the blademaster
strikes with mighty and powerful blows, at only a cost
to the frequency of those blows. You must be guild
level 13 and you must be a True Blademaster to learn
this style.

You quickly spin and smash the back of your fist into <monster>.

You draw back your fist as if to punch <monster>, but then proceed to kick <him/her>.

<monster's> attack is blocked!

You move quickly to prevent <monster's> attacks.
