I think the words 'one off' went right over your head there. also, the strike I used (having used a variant of it before) breaks a grip on the arms due to the way it works, anyway, the gm has spoken. we both went over the top but you basically ended a char.

The words one off were replaced by the fact that it would make no sense for you only to know ancient norse magic once, and then instantly forget all about it. And if you were using a specific strike that broke the grip on the arms, that detail might have been something you would want to mention in your post.

Also, arms can STILL be reattached. I didn't end your character. I ended the fight. Vlad would have come in, you would have been put under extensive medical care, and your arms would be reattached.
