Jace quickly moved forward towards Joash, using the new electrical sliding technique he accidentally developed. He slashed upwards in a diagonal arc. But because he moved so quickly his balance was off resulting in a weaker attack.
He managed to cut through Joash's armor's shielding and caused a cut to appear on the surface of the armor. But then Jace had to dodge backwards as Joash swung at him. He used the momentum to wind up for another attack but as he was moving backwards he bounced off a pillar throwing him off balance.
After catching his balance again he released he could not learn this new thing completely mid battle. Instead he would have to use it where he could. Because if he tried to overuse it, the new technique would be more trouble than it was worth.
