Not really. When choking, you're applying physical force. While being incapable to breathe is quite certainly disturbing and shocking, unless you're close to suffocation, you'll still be able to think relatively clearly, esspecially if you've been trained to do so. Furthermore, how is your magic supposed to be stealthy if it makes people unable to breathe? I don't know about you, but if I couldn't breathe, I'd notice.

because it can be applyed in slow increments by gradually increasing the volume at a subsonic level that can actually blow your head up if it goes too far :3 also, i'm saying an average dude being forced to win a chess match while he's being choked the fuck out by an mma fighter would be the equivalent of casting even the weakest fire ball... and translocation magic is very complex and difficult to do even with your char's training... simply put: when the nigga starts getting chocked the fuck out by shit he can't fucking see then he can't do shit
