What it does

Sworn at a fire. Keep holding a full Anvil-Stroke and it goes into a second heat instead of firing itself: 0.8 s more (mace 0.5 s) takes power from 1.8 to 3.0, stagger 32 -> 45, knock x2, and the ground ring (or the warhammer's shockwave) to 0.5 of the blow in radius 2.0. Within the second heat you take 15 % less damage and can't be knocked back. Entering it costs 15 more stamina (40 in all for a warhammer) and 25 Fury; with less of either the stroke fires at first heat as before (the glint stays brass). It fires itself 0.5 s after it peaks. Weight pre-fills the first heat as for Anvil-Stroke.

Edge: White Iron

The second heat peaks 0.6 s after full instead of 0.8 s.
