Deed
Defeat 2 Woolly Mammoth. Eydis teaches her lunge only to one who has kept the longest tusks in the world off them at the spear's length; mammoths are weak to spears.

What it does

Eydis's own lunge. Needs at least 1 Ell and spends all of it. Wind-up 0.3 s (the point drawn far back), then you lunge 1.2 tiles (a moveBox step: a wall stops the step, not the thrust) and the point runs 3.6 tiles out (a shortspear 2.8) along a line 1 tile wide, piercing every foe in it: the first takes power 3.8 + 0.44 per Ell spent (5.1 at 3, 6.0 at 5 with Thane's Ell), always a tip blow; each foe behind it x0.55 (2.1-3.3). Poise 20 + 10 per Ell. Recover 0.35 s.

Edge: Thane's Length

+0.55 power per Ell spent instead of +0.44.
