While in a grapple with a living foe (including other spirits), the idigam can brutally alter her Essence flow to inflict horrific wounds. As a move that it can select upon winning a grapple, the idigam can reflexively rip a single point of Essence out of its opponent, inflicting one point of aggravated damage in the process. The idigam may then consume the Essence itself or allow the spiritual energy to dissipate.
