 **Slay** | Drop a target to dying status

## Effect

### Description

This feat allows the character to generate an arcane net anchoring the target’s right foot to the ground for thirty seconds. The character can pivot on the foot but cannot lift, drag or move it from the location in any way. The character activating this feat must call the tagline "Snare" as the attack is delivered. If the attack is unsuccessful, the feat is still spent.

Teleportation effects cannot be activated to end or escape from the effect once it is active. Transform effects will not end or escape the effect once it is active but can still be used to defend against further attacks. If the target reaches dying or dead status the effect will dissipate. Also, a character with six points of strength can break out of the effect on a six second count (Breaking One, Breaking Two…).
