Flourishing Attack: On a missed attack roll against opponents, you can move a single square without spending your movement. You must, however, end your movement in an adjacent square to the enemy.

On a successful hit the opponent is pushed 1 square back per point of Power you possess and receives a -5 to Physical Defense for 1 round per square traveled.
