The talisman half-activated—then spun in the air before falling flat, failing to release its spell. Han Yu laughed softly.
"Sabotage potential confirmed."
He cleaned up the remains of the broken talismans and stored the few unused ones back into a pouch.
The courtyard was quiet now, lit only by the soft amber glow of the spirit lantern near the entrance. Han Yu sat down on the stone bench, feeling the residual warmth of exertion in his limbs and the subtle satisfaction in his chest.

Soul Needle: Fast, invisible, and good for piercing spiritual or mental concentration. Useless against constructs.
Emotion Severing Slash: Visible, powerful, and disruptive. Consumes more Soul Qi but can disable formations, talismans, and possibly affect mental states of enemies. The more emotion embedded in a target, the more devastating it could become.
And he wasn't done yet.
